Friargate Quaker Meeting House is a religious building in the city centre of York, in England. Quakers first met in York in the 1650s, and in 1674 they converted a house on what is now Friargate for use as a meeting house. In 1718, a larger site to its east was purchased, and a larger meeting house was constructed, with a capacity of 800 to 1000 worshippers, while the original meeting house was extended and converted into a meeting room for women. In 1817, Charles Watson and James Pigott Pritchett designed an extension, including a new meeting room, library, committee room, strong room and toilets. In 1884, the original building was demolished, and William Thorp designed a further extension to the meeting house, providing a main entrance onto the newly constructed Clifford Street, a small meeting room, school room, lecture room, two committee rooms, a library, cloakrooms, and accommodation for a caretaker. The old entrance onto Friargate was closed in 1891. In the early 20th century, land at the rear of the meeting house was purchased, for use as a garden. Although the meeting house of 1817 was grade II listed, in 1979 it was found to be structurally unsafe, and was demolished. Part of the 1884 building was sold off, and later converted into housing. Jones, Stocks and Partners designed a replacement meeting house on the site of the 1817 building, which was completed in 1981. Between 2013 and 2015, the new meeting house was extended, adding an upper storey and a rear turret. The building is constructed of red brick and is two storeys high at the front, three at the rear. At the front is a canopy, supported by cast iron columns, reused from the 1817 building. At the rear, there is a two-storey turret, in brick with boarding above. Inside, the ground floor comprises a foyer, main meeting room, two smaller rooms, kitchen, library, quiet room and toilets. The main meeting room, originally built as the women's meeting room, has oak panelling, a suspended ceiling, and 19th-century pine benches. The lower ground floor has further meeting rooms and an archives room. The meeting house lies on part of the site of York Franciscan Friary, with a section of its wall being visible in the Woolman Room. On the first floor are four additional meeting rooms.

York and Selby Magistrates’ Court is a Grade II listed building on Clifford Street, York.

Cumberland House is a Grade I listed building in the city centre of York, in England. The house lies on King's Staith, overlooking the River Ouse. While the basement is accessed from King's Staith, because the street frequently floods, the house's main entrance is on Cumberland Street. It was built in about 1710 by William Cornwell, an industrialist who subsequently became Lord Mayor of York. The house itself acquired its name in the 1740s, with the Prince William, Duke of Cumberland, supposedly having stayed there on 23 July 1746, following his victory at the Battle of Culloden.The house formed the water front end of the entrance to a medieval street known as Middle Water Lane, until that street was demolished in a slum clearance program in the mid 19th century. The street was rebuilt and renamed as Cumberland Street in the late 19th century. The house is built of brick, although the basement and some features are of magnesian limestone. It is of two main storeys, with an attic and basement, and has five bays facing King's Staith. Inside, the two main reception rooms and staircase preserve their original features, and there are original fireplaces upstairs, but the service wing of the house, to the east, was remodelled in the 20th-century. The house was restored from 1950 onwards.

The Blue Boar is a pub on Castlegate in the city centre of York, in England. The Blue Boar was a Mediaeval inn on the street. Among its guests were Roger Cottam, envoy to Henry VII of England, and many Royalist soldiers preparing for the Siege of York. It was demolished in about 1730 and replaced by the current building, along with the neighbouring 1 and 3 Castlegate. A tradition states that the body of Dick Turpin was kept in the cellar of the pub overnight, after his execution, and that the landlord of the pub allowed patrons to see the body, for a small fee. An additional tradition claims that Turpin's ghost haunts the pub. In 1770, the Robin Hood pub opened on the street, probably as a direct replacement for the Blue Boar, although it is not certain whether it occupied the same building. It became an important coaching inn, with coaches running daily to Hull and Leeds, and from 1816 also to Selby, along with less regular routes to Richmond, Barnard Castle, Howden and Bubwith. In Walter Scott's novel, The Heart of Midlothian, the Seven Stars pub is thought to be based on the Robin Hood. The front of the pub was rebuilt in 1851, including a carriage arch leading to former stables at the rear, and the pub was extended into part of 3 Castlegate. In about 1894, the pub was again renamed, as the Little John. It has since been internally rebuilt, and an extension added. In 1971, it was Grade II listed, along with the attached cast iron carriage gates. In the early 21st century, the pub was owned by Enterprise Inns and described itself as being "gay-friendly". It closed in 2011, but reopened the following year, returning to the Blue Boar name.
