73, 75 and 77 Low Petergate is a terrace of late Mediaeval buildings in York, in England. The terrace was constructed in the late-16th century, and originally consisted of four houses. Each is of three stories with an attic, and each storey is jettied over the one below. They are timber-framed throughout, and this is largely exposed inside the upper floors. In each building, part of the original staircase from the second floor to the attic survives. In 75, a large chimney breast with two hearths survives.The street fronts are rendered with stucco, with incisions designed to make it resemble ashlar. 73 and 77 have original gables, while 75 has twin gables which were added in the 17th century. Various extensions have been added to the rear of the terrace, with the largest addition being to 73.The houses lie on Low Petergate, one of the most important streets in the city centre, now a major shopping street. In the 19th century, the ground floors were converted into three shops, and the shop front of 77 survives, while the others were further altered in the 20th century. With the later house at 71 Low Petergate, and the earlier ones at 79 and 81 Low Petergate, they form a lengthy range of timber-framed buildings which Nikolaus Pevsner described as "impressive". The terrace has been Grade II* listed since 1954.

56–60 Low Petergate is a grade II* listed building in the city centre of York, in England. The building was constructed in about 1500 as a terrace of five houses on the north-east side of Low Petergate, for John Stockdale. It is of three storeys, and is five bays long, with timber framing and a jettied front. In about 1630, it was redivided into the current three properties, with chimneys and an attic storey added, and extensions at the rear of each property. In the early-19th century, 56 Low Petergate was refronted in brick, while further brick extensions were added to the rear of 58 and 60 Low Petergate. The bay windows at the front of 58 and 60 Low Petergate date from around 1800, and the shopfront of 56 is also 19th-century, the other buildings having 20th-century shopfronts.Inside, some early fixtures and fittings survive, including the 17th-century top section of the staircase in 56, and there is a 17th-century plaster overmantel on the first floor, displaying the Stuart coat of arms. There is also a 17th-century cupboard door on the second floor, while other doors date from the 18th-century. In 58, there is a ground floor room with 18th-century panelling, and on the first floor there is an 18th-century overmantel, while in 60, there is a first floor room with 18th-century panelling.The building was grade II* listed in 1954.

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.

The Adams House is a historic building in the city centre of York, in England. The house lies on Low Petergate, one of the main streets in the centre of York. It was built in 1772, for John Fountayne, the Dean of York. It originally incorporated a ground floor passageway through which the Deanery could be accessed. Construction cost £1,353 (equivalent to £184,003 in 2021), and was immediately let to one of the cathedral vergers, who then sub-let it. At a later date, the ground floor was converted into a shop, incorporating the former passageway.The building was Grade II* listed in 1954. For some time, it was a branch of Café Rouge, before becoming Jimmy's cafe-bar, and in 2022, a Fat Hippo burger bar.The three-storey building is built of brick, on a stone base. The original entrance doorway survives, with a second entrance having been created when the passageway was removed; the remainder of the ground floor facade is a shopfront, in similar style. There is a decorated cornice, and an original drainpipe head, with the crest of an elephant, the emblem of Fountayne. The rear facade is plainer, with various sash windows, and some blocked windows.Inside, the ground floor has been altered, but many rooms on the upper floors retain their original plasterwork and fireplaces, the grandest being in the first floor saloon. Two original staircases also survive.

33 Stonegate is a historic building in the city centre of York, in England. The timber framed building was constructed in the early 17th century, probably at the same time as the similar building at 31 Stonegate. Late in the century, it was extended to the rear, in brick. The front was originally pargetted, but this was removed in the late 19th century and replaced by plain plaster with elaborately carved wood. This incorporates the date "1489", but this does not relate to any event in the history of the site. The building has three stories and an attic, each of which is jettied. The ground floor has a shopfront, and at its right hand end is a bracket supporting a carving of the devil. The devil is believed to have advertised a printing business in the building, a "printer's devil" being a nickname for a printer's assistant. Inside, a late-17th century rises the height of the building. Several original doors survive, as does the panelling in the front room on the first floor.The building was grade II* listed in 1954. Since 2017, it has housed the flagship shop of Abraham Moon, a woollen mill based in Guiseley.A local story states that Laurence Sterne lived at the house for several years, and he would frighten off potential thieves by banging his walking stick against his bedroom wall, a sound which can supposedly still be heard in neighbouring 35 Stonegate.

A Roman column stands in Minster Yard in the English city of York. Originally built around the first century, by the soldiers of Legio IX Hispana, it was reused by Legion VI in the 4th century. It is believed to have been part of a group of sixteen freestanding columns (eight on each side of the nave), supporting the walls of an earlier church on the site. The column was discovered beneath York Minster during a 1969 excavation, and was given to the City of York three years later to mark the 1900th anniversary of the city's founding.The column is 7.6 metres (25 ft) tall and constructed of Magnesian Limestone and millstone grit. It now stands in front of the Minster School, in Minster Yard, on the southern side of York Minster.

The Minster School was an independent preparatory school for children aged 3–13 in York, England.

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.

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.
