The Black Swan, York
The Black Swan, York

The Black Swan is a public house in the city centre of York, in England. The building lies on Peasholme Green, on the site of an important Mediaeval house which had been occupied by various Lord Mayors of York and Members of Parliament. In 1560, Martin Bowes rebuilt the property, and in 1670 Henry Thompson made substantial alterations, rebuilding parts in brick, and altering the interior. Early in the 18th-century, the house was owned by Edward Thompson. In the late-18th century, the house was converted into a pub, although much of its interior survives intact from the 1670 alterations, particularly in the entrance hall, the Smoke Room, and a room upstairs with a trompe l'oeil painting. Externally, the central section of the facade is timber-framed with a jettied first floor, dating from 1560. To its right is a brick and timber extension from 1670, and to the left, an extension built in 1940, with a wing of 1670 behind.By the 1930s, the pub was owned by the Tadcaster Tower brewery, which undertook a major renovation intended to preserve the building's historical character. The pub later came into the ownership of Bass. In 1954, it was grade II* listed.One tradition claims that the Black Swan is linked to St Cuthbert's Church by an underground passage. The pub is also said to be haunted by several ghosts. Since 1978, it has hosted a folk music club, and since 2003, an annual folk festival. In 2009, it was voted Folk Club of the Year at the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards.

Lady Hewley's Almshouses
Lady Hewley's Almshouses

Lady Hewley's Almshouses are a historic building in the city centre of York, in England. Sarah Hewley founded almshouses on Tanner Row in 1700, run by the Lady Hewley Trust. These were demolished to allow the construction of York's original railway station, and a replacement building on St Saviourgate was completed in 1841. The construction cost £1,711. The buildings are still in use as almshouses, and are still run by the same trust.The building was designed by James Pigott Pritchett, in a Tudor Revival style. The building formerly had nine apartments and a chapel, but in 1975, the chapel was converted into an additional apartment. The front of the almshouses is of stone, and the rear of brick. The building is two storeys high, with a cellar. Its main part has nine windows on each floor, and there are wings at either end. The front has three entrance doors, while there are two doors in the right-hand facade, which overlooks Stonebow. Inside, movable panels partition the entrance halls. The original kitchen ranges survive, as do the first floor fireplaces, although these are now blocked. The warden's house has two storeys and a three bay front, and is built of stone. In the 20th century, a single-storey extension was added to the right of the building. There is a tablet in the end wall, moved from the original building, which records its foundation. The buildings were Grade II listed in 1954; the gate piers and railings also form part of the listing.
