York's Butcher Street is the most complete and oldest medieval street preserved in the UK so far. In the past, there were butcher shops here, and the meat was easily spoiled in the sun, so the roads were narrowed to avoid excessive direct sunlight. Butcher Street gets almost no sunlight all year round, and it's cool in summer. There are buildings full of fairy tales, and it is also the place where the little wizards in the "Harry Potter" series of movies buy various magic props and books - the prototype of "Diagon Alley". However, the Chinese translation of this street name has nothing to do with magic, and there are even some "heavy mouths" called "butcher's street". The original English word for "Butcher Street" is TheShambles, which is derived from the medieval word "Shamel". The English meaning of "Shamel" is Booth (stall) + Bench (bench), which means "butcher shop" somewhat. Since there is an official historical record, this street has been a street of butchers + butchers. Now the Butcher Street is a very famous commercial street in York, and the streets have been greatly changed. The shops on both sides of the street are all exquisite and individual shops, with a strong literary atmosphere. There are also many antique shops tucked away in Butcher Row, and for those who love antiques, this is a treasure-hunting paradise.
