Colliergate

5 Colliergate is a historic building in the city centre of York, in England. The building was constructed in the 16th century as a house, located on Colliergate. It is a timber framed building. In the 18th century, a third bay, in brick, was added at the rear; this may be a replacement for an earlier timber bay. For many years, the building was used for light manufacturing, work including paper box making and artificial floristry, then it became a shop. In about 1930 it was heavily restored, with many of the timbers being replaced, and a distinctive new ogee head being added to the passage doorway. By this time, it was one of the last surviving mediaeval buildings on the street. In 1957, it was purchased by the York Conservation Trust, which removed render from the front, replaced further timbers, and extended the ground floor shop into the passageway, replacing the former shop entrance and bow window with a larger window. The building has been grade II listed since 1954. The building is constructed of timber with plaster infill, and the rear bay of orange-red brick, with both sections having a tiled roof. It is two storeys high with an attic, a single bay wide and three bays deep. The front two bays appear to have originally been undivided at ground level, but only the front bay had an upper floor. The doorway has its original posts but a 20th-century head and nail-studded wooden door. The windows on the upper floor have three lights divided by timber mullions and square leaded-light panes.

St Trinity House is an historic series of four buildings in the English city of York, North Yorkshire. Grade II listed and forming the southern end of King's Square, parts of the structures date to the early 18th century, with alterations occurring over the next two hundred years. Their addresses today range from 3 to 4A King's Square. The Duke of York pub is at numbers 3 and 4; and the current use of 4A, the oldest building in the range, is not known, although people signed up for The Ghost Hunt of York are asked to meet beside it. The only rendered front of the four, it adjoins 1 The Shambles to form an L-shape at the southwestern corner of the square. In the early 20th century, both buildings were the home of G. Ackroyd Furniture Stores.In 1430, the site was occupied by shops by the name of Le Mercery and by a building known as Hellekeld (the dark well). These were believed to be a precursor to Pump Court.Three of the buildings are 20th-century remodels of 15th-century (or earlier) structures, one of which was altered in the 17th century, while two were rebuilt in the early part of the 18th century. The other one is a 20th-century structure. Each 15th-century structure retains its timberframing.The first floor of 4A is jettied towards Newgate and retains its dragon beam on that corner. (The first building at what appears to be the beginning of Newgate is actuallly 5 and 6 King's Court.) The buildings were in the shadow of Holy Trinity Church (for which the building is named), which stood immediately to the north in what was then King's Court, between the 15th century and the church's demolition in 1937.

10–11 The Shambles is an historic pair of buildings in the English city of York, North Yorkshire. Grade II* listed buildings, they are located in The Shambles.The building was the 16th-century home of Margaret Clitherow, who was executed as a recusant in 1586 and canonised in 1970.It was originally one building, it is two storeys with brick walls at the front and rear (the former rebuilt in the early 1800s. The building was divided into two tenements around 1730. They were renovated internally around sixty years later, a process that included the installation of two new staircases to the first floor.The building was modernised in 1956, including the removal of two staircases featuring Chinese fret balustrades, but some of the original timber framing still exists. The roof at the rear is partly 15th century.As of 2020, the buildings were occupied by The Potions Cauldron (jokingly as 9¾ Shambles, in reference to the Harry Potter series) and British Wool & Cashmere.

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.

12 The Shambles is an historic building in the English city of York, North Yorkshire. A building was constructed on the site in about 1400, probably being T-shaped and set a little off the street. In the late 15th century, a new three-storey building was constructed in front of the existing house. In the 16th century, the front part of the rear building was replaced with a two-storey building with attics, adjoining the front block.In the early 18th century, the building was refronted in brick, removing the jettying of the timber framed structure. The building was further altered in the 19th century. In the 20th century, work at the rear removed the last remnants of the building from 1400, and a new shopfront was added on the ground floor, facing onto The Shambles. In 1954, it was grade II* listed.As of 2020, the building is occupied by York Vikings, with Guest Walker & Co Solicitors on the upper floors at 12A.

21 Colliergate is a historic building in the city centre of York, in England. The site on Colliergate has been in use for many centuries. There are some fragments of Mediaeval timber framing visible in the side walls of the ground floor, while on the second floor there is timber framing visible from around 1600. The house was rebuilt in the early 18th century, and in 1732 it was converted into Margaret Mason's Hospital, an almshouse for six widows. In 1783, the front and rear walls were demolished and rebuilt in brick, then in the mid-19th century, the heights of the floors in the front were raised, to match those in the rear. In the 1940s, the almshouse was altered to provide five bedsit rooms, but it closed by 1958 and was later converted into a shop. The building was grade II listed in 1968. The original doorframe was destroyed when the shop was burgled in the 2023, following which the tenants applied for permission to install a steel gate. The building has a timber framed core and external walls of orange-pink brick, with a slate roof. It is three stories high and a single bay wide. The front has a gable. On the ground floor are two doorways, one to the shop and one to a passageway, and a shop window with small panes, below a cornice. The upper floors each have a single sash window. Inside, a staircase installed in the mid-19th century runs the full height of the building.

Grade II* listed buildings dating to the early and late 15th century, they are located in The Shambles.Number 8 is the older house, and was built in the early 1400s. It originally had one room on each of its three storeys, with a courtyard behind, but in the 16th century, the yard was infilled with a two-storey extension. In about 1700, the extension was reduced in length, and a further extension was added, which included a kitchen. In the 19th century, the level of the second floor was raised.Number 7 was built in the late 1400s, filling the space between number 8 and a now-demolished building. Like number 8, it is of three storeys, each of which is jettied. Each floor is divided into three rooms, one behind another, although the position of the partitions has been altered over time. In the 18th century, the rearmost bay of the building was shortened. Inside, there is a 17th century chimney breast, built of brick, and much of the original timber framing survives. The fireplace on the first floor is original.Both buildings have been converted into shops, with an office on the top floor. Since 2002, the shops have been occupied by Monk Bar Chocolatiers.
