The Shambles coaster is by artist Emily Ward. This FSC rated hardback coaster can be purchased as part of a gift set,
with four coasters of your choice. All coasters are hand pressed in Emily's studio near Newcastle Upon Tyne.
You can imagine the hustle and bustle of this historic narrow cobbled street in Emily's artwork of the Shambles. A soft purple sky adds an air of mystery to this medieval street filled with vibrant shop fronts.
Emily's characteristic splashes of paint add a pop of colour to this art coaster.

The Shambles in York
The Shambles
is a historical street in the city of York in North Yorkshire. Known officially as just the 'Shamble', it is a narrow street that dates back to the 14th century.
The preserved medieval timber buildings were originally home to many butchers shops, each specialising in a different meat. The street was narrow to prevent direct sunlight shining on the meat.
Today the butchers shops have been replaced with many independent shops, cafes and bookstores. Many shops still have meat hooks hanging outside.
