POV: What a Real Viking City ACTUALLY Looked Like (Jorvik, 948) #york #jorvik #vikings In 948, York was one of the most important cities in northern England, and to many people it was still Jorvik. This was not just a place of warriors and ships. It was a crowded trading city where Norse, Anglo-Saxon, Irish Sea, and wider North Sea connections all met in one muddy, smoky place. People worked leather, bone, antler, iron, wool, silver, fish, and timber. Traders weighed silver on small scales, craftspeople made combs and shoes, boatmen unloaded goods from river landings, and armed men moved through the same streets as ordinary families. Archaeology from Viking-age York has revealed timber buildings, workshops, animal pens, wells, privies, leather scraps, bones, insects, plant remains, and everyday objects preserved in wet ground. It gives us a rare look at what daily life really felt like. And yes, it probably smelled awful. Fish, smoke, animals, waste pits, leather working, damp timber, mud, and crowded houses were all part of urban life. Viking York was skilled, connected, and powerful, but it was also dirty, cramped, and dangerous. That’s what makes Jorvik so interesting. It was not fantasy. It was a real city.

Today we took Bramble into York for a little sightseeing… and as you can imagine, he didn’t exactly blend in. 🦖😂 We headed down the famous Shambles, had a look around the Harry Potter shop and met plenty of tourists along the way. Some absolutely loved Bramble. Others… looked slightly less convinced about a dinosaur wandering towards them. 😂 We had such a good time taking him around this amazing city and letting him explore somewhere new. York, you were brilliant. 🦖❤️ #Bramble #York #TheShambles #VisitYork #Yorkshire
