York City F.C.

York City Football Club is a professional association football club based in the city of York, North Yorkshire, England. As of the 2022–23 season, the team compete in the National League, at the fifth tier of the English football league system. Founded in 1922, the club played seven seasons in non-League football before joining the Football League. York played in the Third Division North and the Fourth Division until 1959, when they were promoted for the first time. York achieved their best run in the FA Cup in 1954–55, when they met Newcastle United in the semi-final. They fluctuated between the Third and Fourth Divisions, before spending two seasons in the Second Division in the 1970s. York first played at Wembley Stadium in 1993, when they won the Third Division play-off final. At the end of 2003–04, they lost their Football League status after being relegated from the Third Division. The 2011–12 FA Trophy was the first national knockout competition won by York, and they returned to the Football League that season before being relegated back into non-League football in 2016. York are nicknamed the Minstermen, after York Minster, and the team traditionally play in red kits. They played at Fulfordgate from 1922 to 1932, when they moved to Bootham Crescent, their home for 88 years. This ground had been subject to numerous improvements over the years, but the club lost ownership of it when it was transferred to a holding company in 1999. York bought it back five years later, but the terms of the loan used to do so necessitated a move to a new ground. They moved into their current ground, the York Community Stadium, in 2021. York have had rivalries with numerous clubs, but their traditional rivals are Hull City and Scarborough. The club's record appearance holder is Barry Jackson, who made 539 appearances, while their leading scorer is Norman Wilkinson, with 143 goals.

Joseph Rowntree Theatre
Joseph Rowntree Theatre

The Joseph Rowntree Theatre is a historic theatre on Haxby Road in the north of York, a city in North Yorkshire, England. The theatre was commissioned by the Rowntree's chocolate company, as a facility for its workers, alongside a library, swimming pool and bowling green. It was designed by Barry Parker and Raymond Unwin in the Art Deco style, and was completed in 1935. It was named the "Joseph Rowntree Hall" in memory of Joseph Rowntree, former co-owner of the company, and originally operated as both a theatre and a lecture hall. At the time, it was connected to the factory's canteen, and workers could watch films during their lunch breaks. Rowntree's was bought by Nestle in 1988, which in 2012 sold the theatre to York St John University. It continued to be operated by the Joseph Rowntree Village Trust, and was later purchased by the trust. In 2014, the roof was replaced, and a new bar installed. At the time, the theatre was run by around 150 volunteers. In 2017, the in-house Joseph Rowntree Theatre Company was established. The building has been Grade II listed since 2003. The theatre is constructed of brown brick, and has concrete dressings and a pantile roof. The building is mostly three storeys, and the recessed main entrance to the west consists of triple doors with a wooden canopy above. There are wings either side, with brick parapets. Each side has five buttresses, and the ground floor projects slightly. At the rear, the flytower rises to four storeys and has plain buttresses and a flat roof. Inside, the foyer has its original flooring, with a staircase to the left and box office to the right. The auditorium has raked stalls and a narrow gallery with a curved front. There is a proscenium arch to the stage, with an orchestra pit in front. Original features include wooden panelling, seating, and the stage machinery.
