The Old White Swan is a pub in the city centre of York, in England. The core of the building is timber-framed and was constructed in the early-17th century. It lay at the back of a coaching yard on the north-western side of Goodramgate, but with another entrance on Low Petergate. Underneath a glass panel in the floor is part of a Roman column, although this is not its original location.The building was in use as an inn by 1703, making it the third-oldest pub in the city. In this period, part of the building lay in the parish of Holy Trinity King's Court, and part in the Holy Trinity Goodramgate parish. Both claimed the right to charge a rent for the pub, leading its landlord to paint a white line through the courtyard and kitchen, demarcating the boundary, and providing a justification for him to pay only partial rent to each parish. In 1723, the local constables decided to watch for possible Catholic activity in the pub, and spent £1 at the business while doing so — a substantial sum for the period. In 1742, the pub was renamed as the "White Swan and Sandhill", but the suffix was dropped again in 1786. Brick extensions were added to either side of the original building in the early- and mid-18th century, and the frontage on Goodramgate was rebuilt in 1771, following which this became the principal entrance, with the one on Petergate eventually closed. The side wings were not initially used as part of the inn, but had uses including a barber shop, pigsty and hayloft. The courtyard was occasionally used to host a poultry market, while the pub hosted events including a display of Patrick Cotter O'Brien, claimed as the world's tallest man, and an attempt by a man to eat ten pounds of tripe.In the late-18th and early-19th century, the inn was the starting point for several stagecoach routes, including one to Glasgow via Durham and Newcastle, and shorter ones to Easingwold and Helperby. A mounting block in the courtyard survives from this period. John Ward Knowles painted a stained glass sign for the pub in 1846, variations on which have been its logo since. In 1885, the pub was renamed as the "Old White Swan", to emphasise its long history.In 1971, the pub was grade II listed. A tradition holds that the pub is haunted by the ghosts of a group of Catholics planning an escape to France, who are said to rearrange chairs in a circle and relight a fire overnight.

The Wealden Hall is a grade I listed building on Goodramgate in the city centre of York, in England. The building was constructed in about 1500. It is a wealden hall house, which by the date was a common design in South East England, but rare in York. The Wealden Hall and 1 Tanner Row, also in the city, are the two northernmost surviving examples of wealden halls.Using the standard wealden hall design, the building originally had a central hall, with double storey bays either side. In this case, the design was end-on to the street, and, unusually, only the front bays were jettied. In front of the hall, a three-storey range was constructed to face the street. Remain of two windows survive from the original construction, although they were originally unglazed and probably closed with shutters. The rear never had any openings, suggesting that it may have directly abutted another structure. The size of the house, and its jettying, suggests that it was built for a wealthy owner.From the 16th-century on, many alterations were made to the building: new walls and chimneys were added, attics were constructed, and a first floor was inserted into the hall. The front of the building was plastered, probably in 1700, a date which is now inscribed on the front of the building. The eastern part of the front range became a separate building, now The Snickleway Inn.In 1930, the building was bought by Cuthbert Morrell, for restoration, which was conducted by the architect Harvey Rutherford. Among other changes, he restored the hall to its former dimensions, and removed the plaster from the street front, to reveal the timber framing. The building now belongs to the York Conservation Trust and houses shops, with offices above. It has also been used for exhibitions, like one in 2012 focusing on the culture of homelessness in the city.

Goodramgate is a street in the city centre of York, in England.

The Snickleway Inn is a grade II* listed pub, in the city centre of York, in England. The pub lies on Goodramgate, next to the Wealden Hall. The oldest part is the front section of the building, constructed about 1500, at the same time as the neighbouring hall. It is three stories high and four bays wide. In the 17th-century, a wing was added, and in the mid-19th century, this was altered, while the building was refronted. To the rear, there is an outbuilding, which was constructed in about 1600, and has been extensively rebuilt in several phases. The whole building is timber-framed throughout, with some brick infill, while the front is plastered over.The building has been used as a pub from at least the 18th-century. It was originally named the "Painters' Arms", then successively became the "Square and Compasses" (c. 1818), the "Mason's Arms" (c. 1823), "The Board" (c. 1841) and the "Joiner's Arms" (c. 1851). By 1872, it was renamed as the "Anglers' Arms". In 1994, while Frank Cartin was the landlord, it was renamed as "The Snickleway Inn", referencing the snickelways of York, but deliberately misspelling the word, to avoid copyright issues.The York Press named the pub as one of the five most haunted in the city, claiming that it is home to five spirits, including Mrs Tulliver and her cat, Seamus. Another ghost is said to be Marmaduke Buckle, a disabled man who lived in the early 18th-century, who committed suicide while living in the property.

The Colliergate drill hall is a former military installation at the corner of Colliergate and St Andrewgate in York.

41–45 Goodramgate is a grade I listed building in the city centre of York, in England. Most of the building was constructed in 1500: a three-storey, five-bay range facing onto the east side Goodramgate, and a single-storey hall behind its northern part. It probably originated as the house of a wealthy citizen, with a shop at the front. Early in the 1600s, a further two-storey building was constructed south of the single-storey range about six feet away from it, and the gap between the two was closed up soon after. A passageway ran back-to-front through the central part of the building.By 1800, the front of the building had been plastered over, and shop windows had been installed in the ground floor, with leaded lights in the windows above. These were replaced by sash windows by the end of the century. Both 41 and 43 Goodramgate were refronted in brick during the 1800s. The property was bought by Cuthbert Morrell in the 1920s, and in 1929, Walter Brierley and Harvey Rutherford restored the building. They removed the external plaster to reveal the timber framing, all internal partitions erected over the past few centuries were removed, and the passageway was closed off.The building now forms three properties. 41 Goodramgate is of four stories, its attic having been converted into an extra floor, while 43 Goodramgate is the same height but of only three stories, its floor heights having been altered. 45 Goodramgate is the largest property, incorporating both the buildings to the rear. It is the only one to retain its jettied front. Although there are windows in the roof, added in 1929, it remains of three stories, the roof windows providing extra illumination for the second floor. The timber framing inside is largely intact, although heavily restored. Few other original fixtures remain although there is a cornice and simple fireplace on the first floor.45 Goodramgate was listed in 1954, as an example of a rare building type, with few examples known nationally, while 41 and 43 Goodramgate were added to the listing in 1971. In 1957, 45 Goodramgate was donated to the York Civic Trust, who lease it out for use as a restaurant. 41 and 43 Goodramgate are a separate cafe and shop.

Holy Trinity Church, King's Court, also known as Christ Church, was a parish church in the city centre of York, in England. The church was first recorded in 1268. It was largely or wholly rebuilt in the 14th century, with a nave, north and south aisles, and a 60-foot high tower, and there were further additions in the 15th century. From the 1410s, it was linked with St Michael's Hospital in Well. Although it was a small church, it had at least five chantries in the Mediaeval period.In 1767, two of the church's chantry chapels were demolished in order to enlarge the neighbouring hay market in what became King's Square. Also in the 1760s, the church's stained glass was removed. Located at a busy junction, at the top of The Shambles, the church became regarded as an impediment to traffic; in 1818, William Hargrove noted that several people had been killed coming around the narrow and sharp corner of the church, and he proposed demolishing the eastern end. In 1829, a triangular part on the east side of the church was demolished, in order that Colliergate could be widened. The demolitions did not resolve the church's issues, and in the 1850s, Sotheran's Guide stated that "the building has been several times curtailed, and if it was altogether removed there would be no loss of architectural beauty, and a great increase to public convenience".In 1861, the church was rebuilt, in a Decorated style design, by Rawlins Gould. Only the east wall was retained from the old church, but the new church had the same plan, with the additions of north and south porches, and a vestry. In 1877, the church's plate was melted down, to produce new plate.Due to its declining congregation, its parish was merged with that of St Sampson's Church in 1886, and the church soon became disused. By 1896, it was used to house sheep on their way to slaughter. The furnishings were removed to St Mary Bishophill Junior, and St Everilda's Church, Nether Poppleton. However, the large clock on its tower was maintained.In 1937, the church was demolished, allowing King's Square to be further enlarged. Part of the square is paved with 19 gravestones from the church's cemetery.

Eboracum (Classical Latin: [ɛbɔˈraːkʊ̃]) was a fort and later a city in the Roman province of Britannia. In its prime it was the largest town in northern Britain and a provincial capital. The site remained occupied after the decline of the Western Roman Empire and ultimately developed into the present-day city York, occupying the same site in North Yorkshire, England. Two Roman emperors died in Eboracum: Septimius Severus in 211 AD, and Constantius Chlorus in 306 AD.

64 and 66 Low Petergate is a grade II* listed building, in the city centre of York, in England. The building lies on Low Petergate, which has long been one of the major streets in York city centre. The oldest part of the building is the south-east wing, which dates from the 15th century. This was part of a house which was owned by the Talbot family in the 16th century, and they added a two-storey structure on the north-east side of the wing, which has been reduced over time to a small, single-storey section. In the 17th century, the neighbouring 62 Low Petergate became the Talbot Inn, one of the main coaching inns in the city, and it may have extended into what is now 64 and 66 Low Petergate. The 15th-century walls were mostly rebuilt, and a new staircase was added, now known as the Talbot Stairs, and a new wing was added to the north-west. All this section of the building is timber-framed, and has been heavily restored. In 1743, the front of the building was rebuilt. The new front was three storeys high, and five bays wide. The upper floor windows survive, as does the top of a drainpipe, dated 1743, two fireplaces, a door, and two staircases. The ground floor has been replaced with 20th-century plate glass shopfronts.In the 20th century, the building formed part of the York College for Girls. This closed in 1997, and the building was restored in 2007. The front part of its ground floor serves as two shops, while the upper floors are residential.

Deangate is a street in the city centre of York, England, connecting College Street and Goodramgate with Minster Yard. It was created in 1903.The street runs east from the middle of Minster Yard to the junction of Goodramgate and College Street. It was constructed as the last part of a scheme to open up traffic flow in the former Minster Precinct. It was given the suffix "-gate" to match many of the older streets in the city. It was designated as part of the A64 road. It became increasingly busy, and by the 1980s was carrying 2,000 vehicles per hour past York Minster, causing damage to its structure and noise pollution. The York Civic Trust launched a campaign to pedestrianise the street, which succeeded in 1991.The street mostly runs around the side and back of buildings on other streets, with the main structure on the street being the stone yard of the Minster.
