Yes, that's a fabulous memorial to John Snow organised by the York Civic Trust in 2017.

The black plaque was a joint project between the York Medical Society and the Association of Anaesthetists of Great Britain and Ireland, and was unveiled on 22 July 1983.

One of two plaques in the North Street locality for John Snow, a pioneer anaesthetist and epidemiologist, who was born in #York in 1813.

He is known for locating the source of a cholera outbreak in London to a particular water pump thus establishing the disease as water-borne.

Next to Medd's Lane. I wandered down the lane hoping to get a picture of Delwood Croft but the house is surrounded by some very high walls!
