River floods and conservation streets
The Ouse and Foss have flooded parts of York many times, and gardens in low-lying areas can be under water after heavy rain. Concrete posts, gravel boards and designs that allow water to pass through help fences recover.
Much of central York is a conservation area, and some streets have strict expectations about front boundaries. Rear gardens are generally more flexible, and closeboard and trellis panels are common.
