Friargate Quaker Meeting House
Friargate Quaker Meeting House

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.

Blue Boar, York
Blue Boar, York

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.

28–32 Coppergate
28–32 Coppergate

28–32 Coppergate is a historic building in the city centre of York, in England. The rear part of the timber framed building originated as a five-bay hall house, built in the 15th century. It may be the building recorded as having been built by William Alne, Member of Parliament for York, in about 1420. However, the City of York Council note that, due to its size and unusual layout, it may have been constructed as an inn.The ground floor of the house was open, probably for use as a shop, while on the first floor, the two south-eastern bays formed a single hall, open to the roof, while the third bay had a third storey. The fourth and fifth bays were later demolished, and their form is not known. In front of the hall house, facing on to Coppergate, is a row of three three-storey tenements These also date from the 15th century, and have shops on the ground floor and accommodation above. Each floor was jettied. The first floor of 32 Coppergate extends out to the line of its second floor; this may be a later change, but the City of York Council argues that it acted as a porch, and would have been in the centre of the facade of the original building.In the 17th century, a floor was inserted into the hall, to make this part of the building three-storeyed, and fireplaces were also added. The building was further altered in about 1800. Originally, each shop had its own entrance, and there were pointed shop windows, but the current shopfronts date from the 19th century. 28 Coppergate was restored in 1988, and then 30 Coppergate was restored in 1994.On the first floor are a couple of fragments of 17th century painted wall plaster. Some decorative plasterwork and fireplaces of this date also survive.The building was grade II* listed in 1954, with a note that it was an "apparently rare building type of which few other examples were known nationally", although 41–45 Goodramgate represents a more complete example in the same city. It is currently divided into two shops, one of which is the haberdashery Duttons for Buttons.
