Inside York Castle Museum is Kirkgate, a recreated Victorian street.
It was the first to be opened in the UK back in 1938.
The trailblazing idea for historical artefacts to be displayed in such a way was the brainchild of museum founder Dr John Kirk, who the street was named after.
Our reporter went to York Castle Museum to take a journey along Kirkgate, and explore one of the top museums in Yorkshire.
