York City Rowing Club is a rowing club by the River Ouse in York, England. It has over 200 members, of all ages. The boathouse is on the west (here briefly south) bank of the river next to Lendal Bridge and in Memorial Gardens. The club has modern buildings but is three years older than the oldest coastal rowing club in Britain, Dover; it is 25 years younger than the oldest non-academic rowing club, Leander. The reach of canalised river it enjoys is unusually long – over 20 mi (32 km).

The North Eastern Railway War Memorial is a First World War memorial in York in northern England. It was designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens to commemorate employees of the North Eastern Railway (NER) who left to fight in the First World War and were killed while serving. The NER board voted in early 1920 to allocate £20,000 for a memorial and commissioned Lutyens. The committee for the York City War Memorial followed suit and also appointed Lutyens, but both schemes became embroiled in controversy. Concerns were raised from within the community about the effect of the NER memorial on the city walls and its impact on the proposed scheme for the city's war memorial, given that the two memorials were planned to be 100 yards (90 metres) apart and the city's budget was a tenth of the NER's. The controversy was resolved after Lutyens modified his plans for the NER memorial to move it away from the walls and the city opted for a revised scheme on land just outside the walls; coincidentally the land was owned by the NER, whose board donated it to the city. The NER memorial was unveiled on 14 June 1924 by Field Marshal Lord Plumer. It consists of a 54-foot (16-metre) high obelisk which rises from the rear portion of a three-sided screen wall. The wall forms a recess in which stands Lutyens' characteristic Stone of Remembrance. The wall itself is decorated with several carved swags and wreaths, including a wreath surrounding the NER's coat of arms at the base of the obelisk. The memorial is a grade II* listed building, and is part of a "national collection" of Lutyens' war memorials.

York railway station is on the East Coast Main Line serving the cathedral city of York, North Yorkshire, England. It is 188 miles 40 chains (303.4 km) north of London King's Cross and on the main line it is situated between Doncaster to the south and Thirsk to the north. As of June 2018, the station is operated by London North Eastern Railway.York station is a key junction approximately halfway between London and Edinburgh. It is approximately five miles (eight kilometres) north of the point where the Cross Country and TransPennine Express routes via Leeds join the main line, connecting Scotland and the North East, North West, Midlands and southern England. The junction was historically a major site for rolling stock manufacture, maintenance and repair. In Britain's 100 Best Railway Stations by Simon Jenkins, the station was one of only ten to be awarded five stars.

The York City War Memorial is a First World War memorial designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens and located in York in the north of England. Proposals for commemorating York's war dead originated in 1919 but proved controversial. Initial discussions focused on whether a memorial should be a monument or should take on some utilitarian purpose. Several functional proposals were examined until a public meeting in January 1920 opted for a monument. The city engineer produced a cost estimate and the war memorial committee engaged Lutyens, who had recently been commissioned by the North Eastern Railway (NER) to design their own war memorial, also to be sited in York. Lutyens' first design was approved, but controversy enveloped proposals for both the city's and the NER's memorials. Members of the local community became concerned that the memorials as planned were not in keeping with York's existing architecture, especially as both were in close proximity to the ancient city walls, and that the NER's memorial would overshadow the city's. Continued public opposition forced the committee to abandon the proposed site in favour of one on Leeman Road, just outside the walls, and Lutyens submitted a new design of a War Cross and Stone of Remembrance to fit the location. This was scaled back to the cross alone due to lack of funds. Prince Albert, Duke of York (later King George VI), unveiled the memorial on 25 June 1925, six years after the memorial fund was opened. It consists of a stone cross 33 feet (10 metres) high on three stone blocks and a stone base, beneath which are two further blocks and two shallow steps. It sits in a memorial garden, with an entrance designed by Lutyens using the remaining funds for the memorial. The memorial itself is a grade II* listed building, having been upgraded when Lutyens' war memorials were designated a national collection in 2015. The piers and gate at the entrance to the garden are listed separately at grade II.

The former York railway station served the city of York, England between 1841 and 1877. It is a Grade II* listed building.

The Grand, formerly the Grand Hotel and Spa, is a Grade II* listed hotel in York, England, the city's only 5-star hotel. Opened in May 2010 and renovated and extended in 2017–18, it is an Edwardian building dating to 1906, originally the headquarters of the North Eastern Railway, with views of the York city walls and York Minster. It is owned by Splendid Hospitality Group.

Scarborough Bridge carries the railway line to Scarborough over the River Ouse in York, England. The first bridge was built in 1845, and has been renovated and rebuilt at least twice since its initial opening. A new bridge was installed in 2015 at a cost of £6 million. The first bridge had a pedestrian walkway which was located between the two running lines on the deck of the bridge, this was later moved to the east side of the bridge (in the 1875 rebuild), and finally, in the 2010s rebuild, the walkway became a separate wider bridge. The bridge is still in daily use carrying Trans-Pennine services between Scarborough and either York, or Manchester and Liverpool.

Roots is a restaurant on Marygate, just north of the city centre of York in England. The building was constructed as the Bay Horse public house between 1893 and 1894. It replaced an earlier pub of the same name, which was on the opposite side of the road. It was designed by Walter and Arthur Penty. From 1951 until 1986, it was run by Eve and Arthur Briggs. It closed in 2004, at which time it was owned by Wolverhampton and Dudley Breweries. In 2007, the brewery proposed converted the building into an office with flats above; however, it instead reopened as a pub in 2008.In 2018, chef Tommy Banks and restaurateur Matthew Lockwood converted the building into a restaurant, named "Roots", which focuses on local produce and self-sufficiency. This became the first restaurant in the city to win a Michelin star, in 2021. The two-storey building is Grade II listed. It is built of brick, with the first floor partly tile-hung, and partly covered with timber-framing. The ground floor windows and doors are surrounded by stone, and the roof is tiled. All three bays of the Marygate front are gabled; there is a half-octagonal tower at the right-hand side, and a central porch with a round arch. Above the door is a panel which reads "BUILT 1894". Most windows are mullioned and transomed, with some on the first floor diamond-paned. Inside, the basic room arrangement survives, although some walls were removed in the 20th century. Original features include the bar and two timber fireplaces, one of which has a carved panel above depicted a bay horse and dated 1898.

The Falcon is a historic pub on Micklegate in the city centre of York, in England. The establishment originated as an inn named The Falcon, in the 18th-century. It was first recorded in 1715, and in 1736, Francis Drake named it one of two notable inns on the street. In 1818, William Hargrove described it as the most notable inn on the road. Its site stretched back to Tanner Row, where its stables were located. With the opening of York railway station, the stagecoach trade declined, and the inn struggled. In 1842 and 1843, the site was redeveloped, being divided between a smaller pub (now 94 Micklegate) and a neighbouring house (now 96 Micklegate). The only surviving feature of the inn was a gilded carved figure of a falcon, acting as a pub sign. The Victorian buildings are of three storeys and an attic, and largely original sash windows above the ground floor. The pub also has a bay window on the first floor. There is a substantial cornice above the second floor. Inside, 96 Micklegate retains an original staircase, but the property has been converted into a shop. Since 1971, the pair of buildings has been Grade II listed. In 1981, a new cellar was added underneath the rear yard of the Falcon. In 2002, the pub was converted into a bar named "Rumours". However, in 2014 it returned to operating as a pub, under the name The Falcon Tap, and the original cellar was reopened. In 2017, permission was received to demolish modern rear extensions, and replace them with nine flats, and two more on the upper floors of the main building, while also halving the area of the bar. By 2018, it was listed in the Good Beer Guide. In 2018, it was purchased by Almero Holdings and closed unexpectedly for conversion into an aparthotel, intending to retain the pub on the ground floor. In 2022, it reopened, as "The Falcon", run by the owners of the Turning Point Brewery.

The Priory is a pub on Micklegate, in the city centre of York, in England. The building originated as four tenements in a row of seven, constructed in the mid-14th century, probably before 1369. From this period survives the jettying at the front, crown post roof trusses, and wattle and daub walls at attic level. The section now forming the pub had attics added in the 17th century, at which time a rear wing was added to what became 103 Micklegate. That tenement was refaced in brick in the following century. In the 19th century, shop fronts were inserted at ground-floor level, which largely survive, and 99 and 101 were combined into a single shop. 103 was created from two of the original tenements, and by 1818 it was the Coach and Horses pub. In the early-20th century, the freehold of the pub became owned by Richard Pickard's Charity, and they sold it in 1945 to Joshua Tetley's & Son brewery. The following year, they also purchased 99 and 101 Micklegate, and expanded the pub into them. The rear wall of 99 and 101 was rebuilt in brick in 1958. The remainder of the tenements were demolished in 1961. In 1968, the building was Grade II listed. The pub was later renamed as The Coach, then the Phalanx and Firkin, and in 2003 as The Priory, after Micklegate Priory, the gateway to which neighboured the building.

Micklegate House is a Grade I listed building in York, a city in England. The house lies on Micklegate, in the city centre. It was completed by 1752, as a town house for John Bourchier of Beningbrough Hall. It is often said to have been designed by John Carr, a local architect, as it is similar to other designs by him, although there is no firm evidence of this attribution.Bourchier died in 1759, and the house passed to his wife. When she died, in 1796, it was leased to James Walker, then to Joshua Crompton, who bought the freehold in 1815 and whose descendants lived in the property until 1896. The house was then used as business premises, and many of the fittings were sold, most of the best being moved to Treasurer's House.The house is the largest on the street, three stories high and seven bays wide. The front is of red brick, with stone dressings, and the rear of pink brick. Some original sash windows survive, as do a fireplace and bread oven on the second floor. The hall retains rich decoration and a grand staircase to the first floor, and the dining room and library on the ground floor also retain some original fittings.The house was listed in 1954, along with its railings and lamp brackets. In 2015, it was converted into the Safestay hostel.
