  1. They used to call it Muddy York. Horse drawn carriages and wagons kept the streets chewed up, and weather kept it wet and unable to grow grass. Even when cars with rubber tires came along, as in this picture, we were muddy. Imagine women in long skirts crossing the road… Then some streets were bricked; this reduced the mud but was expensive and couldn’t be done everywhere. Introduction of macadam might be an interesting history.
