Six Things on
York Minster - a treasure trove of medieval glass
Towering over the city, the former monastery of York Minster can be seen from miles around. It is the largest medieval cathedral in the country, and is the seat of the Archbishop of York, who is number three in the Church of England hierarchy after the Queen and the Archbishop of Canterbury.
Fisherman's Friend - Fleetwood's famous throat lozenge
Fisherman's Friend, now a world-famous product, is based upon a liquid developed by pharmacist James Lofthouse in the Lancashire fishing town of Fleetwood in 1865. For the next 100 years, the brand was virtually unknown outside the fishing community.
Turtle Dove - a symbol of love that is vanishing from our countryside
The turtle dove is Britain's fastest declining bird species and is on the brink of extinction. A small and pretty pigeon, it breeds in lowland England and winters in Sub-Saharan Africa.
The cowslip - a spring delight in sunny meadows
The cowslip is a relative of the primrose, and a wildflower that can be seen in spring in meadows and verges, usually preferring dry chalky soil. The cup-shaped, yellow flowers grow in nodding clusters on tall stalks. The leaves are oval and wrinkled like the Primrose.
Forth Bridge - Scotland's rivetting engineering triumph
The world's first major steel structure, the Forth Bridge across the Firth of Forth in Scoland, is a milestone in railway civil engineering. Completed in 1890 and designed by Sir John Fowler and Sir Benjamin Baker, it is 2,467 metres long. It became Scotland's sixth UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2015, and its construction resulted in a continuous East Coast railway route from London to Aberdeen.
