YORK MEDICAL SOCIETY ROOMS VISIT - 4th July 2018
​

Located down a long alleyway off Stonegate, these properties and gardens fully deserve their accolade as being one of York's finest 'Hidden Gems'. One of their many treasures is York's first telephone owned by Tempest Anderson whose family owned the properties throughout the 1800s. Also visible under the pigeon is probably the City's oldest rain hopper ! Many thanks to Past President David Pring for a fascinating and comprehensive tour of the buildings, rooms and gardens with a refreshing glass of fizz in the sunshine to start the evening off.
