Looking across the square from the front of York Art Gallery, with the statue of York's most famous artist, William Etty (1787 - 1849), and Bootham Bar and the Minster in the background.
When SE6052 : York. located at SE603520 is moved to this square, the story is that "Mad Alice" was hanged here in 1825, apparently only guilty of being 'mad'. The ghost of Alice reputedly drifts along the lane which once was named after her and features in the city's ghost tour industry.
