Yorkshire Museum

The York Museum Gardens are botanic gardens in the centre of York, England, beside the River Ouse. They cover an area of 10 acres (4.0 ha) of the former grounds of St Mary's Abbey, and were created in the 1830s by the Yorkshire Philosophical Society along with the Yorkshire Museum which they contain. The gardens are held in trust by the City of York Council and are managed by the York Museums Trust. They were designed in a gardenesque style by landscape architect Sir John Murray Naysmith, and contain a variety of species of plants, trees and birds. Admission is free. A variety of events take place in the gardens, such as open-air theatre performances and festival activities. There are several historic buildings in the gardens. They contain the remains of the west corner of the Roman fort of Eboracum, including the Multangular Tower and parts of the Roman walls. In the same area there is also the Anglian Tower, which was probably built into the remains of a late Roman period fortress. During the Middle Ages, the tower was expanded and the Roman walls were incorporated into York's city walls. Most of the other buildings dating from the Middle Ages are associated with St Mary's Abbey, including the ruins of the abbey church, the Hospitium, the lodge and part of the surviving precinct wall. The remains of St. Leonard's Hospital chapel and undercroft are on the east side of the gardens. The Yorkshire Philosophical Society constructed several buildings in the gardens during the 19th and early 20th century, including the Yorkshire Museum and its octagonal observatory. The museum houses four permanent collections, covering biology, geology, archaeology and astronomy.

York Library (York Explore Library and Archive) is situated in Museum Street, York, England. It became a Grade II listed building in 1997.York's first subscription library opened in 1794, but it was only in 1893 that the city's first public library was opened in Clifford Street by the then Duke and Duchess of York, in a building formerly occupied by the Institute of Popular Science and Literature. This was the period when free public libraries were supplanting subscription libraries, and the establishment of York's public library was the city's way of marking Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee. In 1917 the public library was merged with York Subscription Library. The present library building on Museum Street was designed by Walter Brierley and opened in 1927. Since then, there have been a number of extensions to the building, most recently in 2014, when the library became home to the City Archives.

The Minster Inn is a pub on Marygate, immediately north of the city centre of York, in England. The pub was first mentioned in 1823, at which time it was located in a building on the south-east side of Marygate. Although it was later renamed the Gardener's Arms, in the mid-1880s, it became the Minster Inn again. By 1902, it was owned by the Tadcaster Tower Brewery, which decided to relocate it to a new building, opposite the original site, on the north-west side of the street. The new building was designed by Samuel Needham, and it opened in 1903. It is a small pub, based around a through corridor, and with four equally sized rooms, two on each side of the corridor. Although the room at the rear right is a later conversion, the original layout otherwise survives, as do the original windows, doors and tiles. The two left-hand rooms retain their original bench seating and bell-pushes, originally used to call for service. The Campaign for Real Ale describes the pub as having "rare intactness" for its date, and it appears on the organisation's Yorkshire Regional Inventory of Historial Pub Interiors. In 2009, it submitted the pub for listing, but this was not achieved. The Yorkshire Post notes that it has a fire in winter, and a small courtyard.
