Stamford Bridge, a set on Flickr.
A historical photographic tour of the village of Stamford Bridge in North Yorkshire where the 2nd (yes, that is right, the first was the Battle of Fulford) in 1066 which would help decide the fate of English history.
Sadly there is not as much to see as there should be for such an important place. As this is where a great king of Norway fell and the last time an Anglo-Saxon won a battle before the events of Hastings and the arrival of the Normans. But I hope you enjoy what I managed to photographic to share and help people remember this place better. It is important to note that despite a historical monument to commemorate the battle, there is no such monument or even a sign to mark where the famous bridge was.
