The York Stream and Moor Cut channels, including Chapel Arches, might at present look like dried up swamps, but the doctored impressions seek to bring the waterways alive.

The slides were showcased on Thursday at a dinner in honour of Nicky Winton, who is the project’s patron, and show people rowing boats through Chapel Arches and sipping coffee at waterside tables.
