The York Wheel was scheduled for removal in February but will now remain in place until September. A controversial decision for those who are opposed to the temporary structure, a pleasant surprise for those of us who have not yet ventured up there with their camera!
There have been some murmours of disapproval at the way the York Wheel dominates the skyline, but it is only a temporary structure and I think it looks great, especially at night
On my way to the station a couple of days ago I spied a Big Wheel under construction in the Station Hotel car park. York had a Wheel from 2006-2008 attracting 1.2million visitors, and there has been much debate about where to site this one. This wheel was previously in Dublin and it took 24 lorries to bring it to York. It is scheduled to remain here until Jan 2013.
