Blue plush unicorn with pink mane
I found this blue plush unicorn this morning around 7:45am near the entrance to York Minster on Minster Yard. It's about 12 inches tall, made of soft fleece, with a bright pink mane and a tiny purple star sewn on its left flank. The toy looks well-loved; there’s a small scuff on one hoof and the tip of its horn is a bit flattened, which I figured might help identify it. It clearly belongs to a child and I’d love to see it back with its owner—if this is yours, describe the unicorn’s features (mane color, star patch, hoof scuff) and where you last had it, and we can arrange a meetup near the Shambles.
Antique pocket watch with blue dragon motif
I lost my antique pocket watch yesterday around 4:15pm. It's a small gold-tone piece with a blue enamel dragon on the back and a glass cover that's scratched. Inside the lid there's a faint engraving 'M.R.' and a tiny serial number 'X-1978' that you can read in good light. I think I had it after leaving The Shambles Market by York Minster and walking toward Walmgate; it was a family heirloom from my grandfather and means a lot to me. If anyone found it, I’d be grateful to hear from you.
Silver pocket watch with engraved initials
I lost my silver pocket watch yesterday around 3pm near the Shambles Market entrance on The Shambles, York. It’s a vintage Elgin pocket watch with a polished silver case, about 2 inches across, attached to a brown leather fob chain that’s a touch tarnished. The back is engraved with the initials 'J.R.' and there’s a small scratch across the glass; the dial is white with Roman numerals and blue steel hands. This watch belonged to my grandfather and means a lot to me, so I’d be really grateful to get it back if someone happened to find it.
Found vintage Star Wars action figure collection near York Minster
I found a neat vintage Star Wars action figure collection this afternoon around 2:15pm tucked under a bench near The Shambles Market entrance by York Minster, a Collectors Items find. The set sits in a small black zippered pouch with a clear plastic sleeve, and inside are about 12 loose figures plus 3 carded ones from the late 70s and early 80s. Some paint wear and scuffs are visible—one figure has a dented helmet, another's cape is frayed, and the card backs have yellowed edges. There's a handwritten note tucked inside that reads J.C. Collection along with a small price sticker, which are neat identifying details. If these belong to someone, I’d be happy to help reunite them with the owner.
Lost bright green stuffed dinosaur toy with pink spots, about two feet long, at a park in York.
I lost my child's favorite stuffed dinosaur toy while we were playing at the park in York yesterday. It is bright green with pink spots and is about two feet long. My son is really upset about it, and we'd love to have it back. If you happen to find it, please let me know!
Found a brightly colored ceramic owl sculpture left on a bench near the River Ouse.
I found a beautifully crafted ceramic owl sculpture near the River Ouse while taking a walk this afternoon. It was sitting on a bench and appeared to be left behind. It's quite distinctive with vibrant colors and detailed patterns, and I would love to return it to its owner if it's missing.
