2 Jubbergate
2 Jubbergate

2 Jubbergate, also known as 4 Jubbergate, is a grade II* listed building in the city centre of York, in England. The older part of the building was constructed in the 14th-century, at the end of Jubbergate, where it met Newgate and Little Shambles. This part is of two bays, timber framed, with a jettied upper floor, and brick infill on the ground floor. In the early-17th century, another timber-framed building was constructed next to it, in two parts: a two bay, two storied section with an original attic and cellar, and a smaller three storey section, the two perhaps having been built a few years apart. Over time, the two have become interconnected and are now a single property. Internally, the 17th-century section has an original chimney with a fireplace in the attic, and there is a plaster cornice in one first floor room which dates from the 18th-century. By 1830, the building was in commercial use, as the Taylor, Cook & Co chemists and art shop. With the creation of nearby Parliament Street, it became a prime location for its new market, and by the 1870s it was a hatters' shop. In 1928, the building was restored by Brierley and Rutherford. They rebuilt the north-east wall of the 14th-century wing, inserted a new staircase in the 17th-century wing and built a brick extension to its rear, replaced the windows, and renewed some of the timber.Following the reconstruction, the building served for many years as the White Rose Cafe. It was grade II* listed in 1954, and in 1957, the York Conservation Trust purchased the freehold. As part of the creation of the Shambles Market, the neighbouring buildings were demolished, and it is now freestanding, almost surrounded by the market. It later became Gert and Henry's restaurant.

Shambles Market
Shambles Market

The Shambles Market is a daily market held in the city centre of York, England. It was created in the 1950s after the clearance of a large area next to the Shambles, when large sections of the Shambles were demolished, including the entire street known as Little Shambles. Until 1955 the city's main markets were in Parliament Street and St Sampson's Square. That year, the market in St Sampson's Square was closed, and the one in Parliament Street was reduced to opening only on Saturdays. The displaced market stalls were offered space in a newly cleared area between Newgate, Jubbergate and The Shambles. Today, the demolition of the historic buildings that originally stood in the place of the market is seen as insensitive, since a great deal of historic fabric was destroyed.The original intention was to name the market "Gell Garth", inspired by "Gail Garth", the mediaeval name for the area. However, it was ultimately named Newgate Market, after the nearby street. The market was refurbished in 2014, at a cost of about £1,600,000. It was given the new name, "Shambles Market", after the most famous street in the area. The revamped market had 86 stalls, a slight increase, and seven kiosks, with most of the kiosks selling food. At the time, the City of York Council stated that the Saturday market was oversubscribed, but that there were spare stalls on other days. A section of the market can be covered with a marquee for special events, such as farmers' markets.Permanent stalls were constructed for sales of meat and fish, while other goods were sold from temporary stalls. Stalls at the market include Cross of York, which opened in 1957 and won the national Fishmonger of the Year competition in 2020, and Swain Family Butchers, which celebrated is 50th anniversary in 2022.
