The Shambles
The Shambles is a historic street in York, England, featuring preserved medieval buildings, some dating back as far as the 14th century. The street is narrow, with many timber-framed buildings with jettied floors that overhang the street by several feet. It was once known as the Great Flesh Shambles, a name reflecting its historical use as a butchers' street. The word shambles derives from Old English sċeamol (“bench, stall”), referring to market or butcher’s stalls; the association with meat is historical rather than etymological. In 1885, thirty-one butchers' shops were located along the street but none remain today.
