The Groves
The Groves

The Groves is a district of York, England, covering the area just north of the city centre between Huntington Road and Haxby Road. The district is near York Hospital and the city ring road. In the 19th century the area was populated by poor working-class inhabitants of long rows of back-to-back houses. It consists largely of close-knit terraces, the majority of which date from the first two decades of the 20th century. In the early 1960s, a large number of very small terraced houses were demolished to make way for flats and maisonettes which were built between Garden Street, Penleys Grove/Townend Street and Lowther Street; this area has a residents' association.The Groves area contains a mixture of privately owned and rented properties, and council housing, and contains a number of students from York St John University. Lowther Street is the main area for local shopping, with an Indian restaurant and takeaway, Chinese takeaway, a small supermarket and a shop specialising in Polish food. In Penleys Grove Street there is a grocery shop. Lowther Street has historically been a busy route for traffic during rush hour, however in 2020 traffic has been re-routed away from Lowther Street through an 18-month experimental low traffic trial run by York Council based on feedback from residents of the Groves who desire "better air quality," "less and slower traffic" and "the chance to build on the existing sense of community."The Groves includes Park Grove Primary School, the Young Groves centre, Door 84, and St Thomas' Church.There is a police team which works with the community. In 2015 a ban on drinking alcohol on the streets was introduced to reduce anti-social behavior in the Groves. The area crime rate is one of the lowest in York.

Middleton House, York
Middleton House, York

Middleton House is a grade II* listed building on Monkgate, immediately east of the city centre of York in England. The house was built in about 1700. It may have been constructed for Benjamin West, who is known to have owned two of the neighbouring plots. Originally, the house was two storeys high, five bays wide at the front, and had an "L"-shaped plan. In about 1770, the space between Middleton House and 40 Monkgate was filled when a carriage arch was constructed, with two rooms above. These originally formed part of 40 Monkgate, but are now part of Middleton House. Around the same time, a third storey was added to Middleton House.In 1798, the Unitarian minister Charles Wellbeloved bought the house. In 1803, he consented to become the principal of Manchester College, on the condition that it was relocated to York. This was agreed, and it was accommodated in Middleton House until 1811. In order to increase the space for the academy, the north ground floor room was extended, new rooms were added at the rear of the building, and a new carriage arch was constructed. In the 20th century, the carriage arch was filled in, with another room added.The building is constructed of brick. Original sash windows survive on the ground floor. Inside, the decoration of the north ground floor room dates from the early 19th century, with the fireplace surround and cupboards being by John Wolstenholme. Most of the staircase is original, although the balusters of the bottom flight were changed in the early 18th century. One of the rooms over the carriageway has a mid-18th century fireplace surround, and two other rooms have firegrates made by Carron in about 1803.The house was purchased by the York Conservation Trust in 1990, who converted it into apartments and renovated the building.

The Dutch House, York
The Dutch House, York

The Dutch House is a historic house, lying on Ogleforth, in the city centre of York, in England. The house was built in brick in about 1650, with Andrew Graham dating it to 1648. It is a small building and originally had two rooms on the ground floor and one on the first floor. Later in the 17th-century, two Dutch gables were added to the front, each with a dormer window. Originally, it is believed to have had only an external staircase, suggesting that it was not a domestic building.In the 18th century, the building's interior was heavily altered, and by the early 19th century, it had been divided into three tenements. In 1954, it was Grade II* listed but it was in a poor state of repair, and in 1956, John Smith's Brewery announced plans to demolish it. Instead, the York Civic Trust restored the building, with much of the front wall entirely rebuilt, as a copy of the original. It then formed part of the brewery, but in 2010 was converted to accommodation, and has since been available to let for holidays. This more recent work won a York Design Award.The building is of two storeys and an attic. It is four bays wide, with the leftmost bay having no windows or doors. The other three all differ: a window with three lights on each floor in the second bay, a round-headed door with an oriel window above in the third bay, and a smaller first floor window in the fourth bay, with the ground floor window having been filled in, though its pediment remains.
