Millthorpe School

St Clement's Church is a parish church on Scarcroft Road, south-west of the city centre of York, in England. There was a mediaeval church dedicated to Saint Clement, lying outside the York city walls, which gave its name to the suburb of Clementhorpe. In 1130, the Benedictine Nunnery of St Clement was founded, and the church was later recorded as forming part of the nunnery complex. The nunnery was dissolved in 1536, but the church remained in use until 1585, when its parish was merged into St Mary Bishophill Senior. The church fell into ruin, and in 1745 the remaining stone from the church was removed and used to repair the walls.There was much construction in the area in the 19th century, and a new church was constructed as a chapel of ease to St Mary, on a site on Scarcroft Road. It was designed by J. B. & W. Atkinson, and was constructed from 1872 to 1874. In 1876, it was given its own parish. A vestry was added in 1880. St Mary was demolished in 1963, and many of its fixtures were relocated to St Clement, including monuments and boards, two of which record the terms of John Carr as Lord Mayor of York. The church was Grade II listed in 2000. The church is constructed of red brick, with stone dressings and plinth and dark brick bands. It has angled buttresses, and a steep slate roof covering both nave and chancel, topped by a small bellcote. The nave has side aisles, and the east end is in the form of an apse. The windows are lancets, those at the east and west ends having three lights, with two-light windows either side. The stained glass in the east window was designed by Jean-Baptiste Capronnier in 1875. Inside, the arcades are of brick, with stone piers and detailed stone capitals. There is a circular stone font, and an octagonal stone pulpit. The choir stalls and screen are later, and were designed by Robert Thompson.

South Bank is an area of York in the county of North Yorkshire, England. It is to the south of the River Ouse. It was home to the now-closed Terry's Chocolate Works. The Chocolate Works factory opened in 1926, where over the years it manufactured Terry's Chocolate Orange, Terry's All Gold and York Fruits. Terry's was acquired by Kraft Foods in 1993, who decided in 2004 to switch production of remaining products All Gold and Chocolate Orange to factories in Belgium, Sweden, Poland and Slovakia, and close the plant. The factory closed on 30 September 2005, with the loss of 317 jobs.Located near the factory is York Racecourse, which forms part of the larger Knavesmire. There is an Athletics Club, the Knavesmire Harriers, who train in this area. South Bank is also the location of Rowntree Park, which is situated near the River Ouse. The Millennium Bridge, which links South Bank to Fishergate and Fulford on the other side of the river, was completed in 2001 at a cost of £4.2 million.Knavesmire Primary School opened in 1914 and is the main primary school in the area. Millthorpe School was formerly a specialist language college and converted to academy status in April 2016. The main Catholic secondary school in the area (and in York as a whole) is the "outstanding" All Saints RC School which also houses the only Sixth Form in the area. It has two sites, the upper site (which is host to years 10-13) is located between Tadcaster Road, Albemarle Road, Scarcroft Hill and Scarcroft Road.

St Chad's Church, sometimes known as St Chad on the Knavesmire, is a parish church in the South Bank area of York, in England. In the early 20th century, the South Bank area fell within the parish of St Clement's Church, but it had a small mission church on South Bank Avenue. A church building on Campleshon Road was planned as a memorial to G. Argles, rector of St Clement's. The building was designed by Walter Brierley. Construction started in 1925, but was unfinished when Brierley died the following year. A vestry was added to the building in 1928, when the church was given its own parish. The church was finally completed by Francis Johnson in 1966, with only about half the original plan having been constructed. The building was Grade II listed in 2004. The building is constructed of concrete, with brick facades, and a concrete roof vault. The main part of the church consists of a single space, serving as both nave and chancel, with side aisles, a narthex at the west end, with stairs leading to an organ gallery, and a chapel at the east end. There is a tower at the north-west; this incorporates a porch. The tower has a flat roof and has a brick niche containing a statue of Saint Chad. Externally, the building is divided into bays by full-height buttresses, and the walls are topped with a parapet of moulded brick. There is a priest's doorway at the south-east corner, with its own small tower. The windows are lancets, arranged at the west end in multiple tiers.Inside, the nave and chancel are divided by a screen, with piers which support a piscina and aumbry. The pulpit is hexagonal and was constructed in 1940.

The Bay Horse is a pub on Blossom Street, immediately west of the city centre of York, in England. The core of the building was constructed in the late-17th century, after the Siege of York, as a small farmhouse. It was first recorded as an inn in 1748, around which time it was raised to three storeys, and extended from an L-plan to a square plan. It is now a three bay building, built of brick, with a rendered front which has a parapet disguising the tiled roof. The staircase dates from the mid-18th century, and there are some fittings from the Regency period.By 1798, the inn was named the "Bay Horse". This name is believed to refer to the horse Bay Malton, who won a major race nearby, at York Racecourse. Some of the windows were altered in the 19th-century. From 1862 until 1874, the pub and its brewhouse were owned by the Institute of the Blessed Virgin Mary. By 1969, the pub was owned by John Smith's Brewery, which restored the ground floor, reusing some of the Victorian fittings.

The Bar Convent Living Heritage Centre, at Micklegate Bar, York, England, established in 1686, is the oldest surviving Catholic convent in the British Isles. The laws of England at this time prohibited the foundation of Catholic convents and as a result of this, the convent was both established and operated in secret. While pretending to be widows, the foundation opened the first school for girls in the country in Hammersmith, London, in 1679 and the second here at the Bar Convent. Today, the Bar Convent is a popular York destination for tourists and offers bed and breakfast accommodation, meeting rooms, a gift shop, café and museum exhibition about the Convent's history.

The Odeon Cinema is a Grade II listed building immediately west of the city centre of York, in England. The Odeon Cinemas chain was keen to build a cinema in York, but it could not gain permission to construct a large building within the York city walls. Initial plans were toned down, and the resulting building is almost entirely of brown brick, with none of the tiles which often feature in Harry Weedon's work. Following these changes, permission was granted to build on Blossom Street, just outside the walls.The building opened as an Odeon Cinema on 1 February 1937. It was designed by Harry Weedon, with the assistance of Robert Bullivant, and with interiors attributed to Lily Deutsch. The construction cost £40,500. On opening, it had 1,484 seats: 934 in the stalls and 550 on the balcony. In 1972, it was converted to have three screens, with the balcony extended forward to form one 800-seat space and the rear of the former stalls split into two smaller screens, each with 111 seats. It was listed in 1981. The building is in the Art Deco style, and has a low front range, with a three-storey range behind, a tower to the left, and two-storey wings on either side. Part of the front range is occupied by shops. The tower retains an illuminated "Odeon" sign, rendered in Roman capital letters, not the chain's usual style.Odeon planned to close the cinema in 2003, with a 13,000-name petition leading to a short reprieve. It closed in 2006, but reopened in 2009 as part of the Reel Cinemas chain. In 2017, it was purchased by Everyman Cinemas and renovated to accommodate four screens, each with sofa seating.The official listing notes that "the architecture ... is well designed and executed, and is a good example of Odeon cinema design" and that original windows survive, along with some original design elements and ancillary rooms. John Brooke Fieldhouse describes it as having "... the overall texture of a building belonging to an ancient civilisation".

The Windmill Inn is a pub on Blossom Street, immediately west of the city centre of York, in England. The oldest part of the pub is on the corner of Blossom Street and Queen Street, although until 1911 another building separated it from Queen Street. Dating from the late-17th century, it was constructed as two cottages and was probably part of reconstruction in the area following the Siege of York. This section is brick built, but with timber framed internal partitions. It contains early chimney breasts and a mid-18th century staircase, and the bay windows at the front date from 1785 or earlier, though they have been heavily altered.The building is first recorded as the "Windmill Inn" in a deed of 1735. At the time, it was owned by the Lee family, who had previously leased a windmill near the top of The Mount. Soon after the purchase, it was extended south along Blossom Street, and then in 1820 a further extension was added to the south, incorporating a carriage arch into the hotel's yard. A stable range was also added, behind the main range. In about 1890, the building was extended to the west, along Queen Street, with the extension incorporating parts of a mid-18th century building including its staircase, and doors dating to about 1840. When the inn was sold in 1867, it was advertised as one of the oldest in the city, and having stabling for 65 horses, with a total value of £800. Trade increased with the opening of York railway station nearby, and in 1893 it sold for £3,750, including a neighbouring brewhouse. By 1902, it had 21 bedrooms available, and it began catering to cyclists and motor car drivers.Legend holds that the pub is haunted by the ghost of a girl who was run over by a brewer's cart, and also by an ostler. A mysterious cold mist has been said to have been experienced. The York Press has listed the pub as one of the five most haunted in the city.As of 2022, the pub is owned by Greene King. Since 1968, the building has been grade II listed.
