Tanner Row

Garforth House is a grade I listed building in York, England. The house lies at 54 Micklegate, in the city centre. The site was occupied by two tenements in early-18th century, one of which was purchased by William Garforth, and the other by his nephew, Edmund Garforth. In the 1750s, they cleared the site for the construction of Garforth House, which is generally believed to have been designed by John Carr of York. It was completed around 1757, and Edmund lived there with his wife, Elizabeth, but they soon began letting it out. In 1831, it was sold to Barnard Hague.In 1912, St Margaret's Independent Grammar School for Girls, a small religious school, moved into the building. It remained at the site until it closed, in 1968, after which the building was used as offices. In 2010, it was sold and reconverted to residential use.The house is of three stories, and its brick front was originally symmetrical, although the door on the right of the ground floor was later replaced by a window. It has stone quoins, and in its pediment is an oculus window. Its original lamp brackets survive, while balconies were added to the second floor windows in the 19th-century. The rear is of a lighter brick, and has an original drainpipe. Inside, the three floors above ground have richly decorated rooms utilising marble, many of which had original fireplaces. It has an unusual plan for the period, based on an "H" shape, with the main staircase at the rear, and a large saloon on the first floor overlooking the garden.

70 and 72 Micklegate is a shop in the city centre of York, in England. The building originated around 1500, as a two-storey timber-framed house, on the north side of Micklegate, a major route into the city. In the 17th-century, a third storey was added, and around the same time, the whole building was extended to the rear. From 1802, the building was occupied by a saddler, who sublet parts of the large house, and made extensive alterations. The building was refronted in 1823, and further extensions were added to the rear. The rear extensions were partially demolished and rebuilt between 1970 and 1980.The building's facade is of dull red brick with narrow mortared joints. There are bow windows at first floor level, and at roof level there is a cornice and an early drainpipe. The ground floor shopfront is 20th-century, although an early fanlight survives above the door to number 70. Inside, 17th-century doors survive in the attic of 70, while there is a reused door from about 1700 on the second floor. The decoration in the front room on the first floor dates from the Regency period, and the staircase is from the 1800s. In 72, the staircase and much of the decoration dates from around 1810.From 1948, the entire building was occupied by Ken Spelman Books, until it closed in January 2022. The building has been Grade II* listed since 1954.

The Maltings is a historic pub on Tanner's Moat in York. The pub opened in 1842 as the Railway Tavern, a short walk from York railway station, which had opened the previous year. The opening of Lendal Bridge nearby increased its trade, although the relocation of York railway station reduced it. In light of these changes, in 1885 it was renamed the "Lendal Bridge Hotel". The building had rooms for travellers, and was sometimes referred to as an inn. It was also occasionally used to hold inquests into deaths. In 1902, it was recorded as having a smoke room, a tap room, and a serving bar. The pub was acquired by Bass Brewery, which sold it in 1992 to Anita Adams. Its new landlord, Shaun Collinge, the nephew of Adams, remained in post for more than thirty years. The building was extended in 2012, following which it was painted black, leading Nathen Amin to describe it as "one of York's most distinctive pubs". It stocked a wide range of real ales, up to 60 a month, leading to it regularly appearing in the Campaign for Real Ale's Good Beer Guide. For two years in a row, it was named national Cask Ale Pub of the Year by the Morning Advertiser. In 2023, The Guardian described it as Britain's "strictest pub", based on its prohibition of singing, hen and stag parties, fancy dress, and swearing. The pub was put up for sale in 2023, at a price of £1.5 million, reduced in 2024 to £1.35 million.

Micklegate is a street in the City of York, England. The name means "Great Street", "gate" coming from the Old Norse gata, or street.Micklegate is described by York City Council as "one of the most handsome streets in Yorkshire", and was described by Nikolaus Pevsner as "...without any doubt the most architecturally rewarding street in York". There are three Medieval churches on the street, and a total of four Grade I listed buildings, with the majority of buildings being three- or four-storey Georgian structures.The name Micklegate is sometimes applied to a slightly broader area, including the side streets Toft Green, Priory Street, Trinity Lane and St Martin's Lane. There is also a ward of Micklegate, used for elections to the City Council, which covers a much larger area, spreading well beyond the city walls.

The Old Rectory is a historic building in the city centre of York, in England. The building was constructed in about 1600, possibly as a warehouse, on the south side of Tanner Row. In the late 17th century, a chimney stack was inserted, and this probably represents its conversion into a house. The building was altered in the 19th and 20th centuries; in 1937, a new staircase from Alne House was inserted, this having been constructed in about 1640. At the time, it served as the rectory to All Saints' Church, North Street; the rector, Patrick Shaw, incorrectly claimed that the building had been constructed in 1498, and inscribed that date in plaster on the rear of the building. In the 1970s, the house was instead occupied by the vicar of St Mary Bishophill Junior. In 1954, the building was Grade II* listed. The building is timber framed, with three bays, and two storeys plus an attic. It does not appear to have originally had any internal partitions, supporting the theory that it was built as a warehouse. On the Tanner Row front, it is jettied at both the first floor and eaves levels, with the eaves being gabled. It is now accessed through a passageway which leads through neighbouring 7 Tanner Row, although that house is of later date. The windows are all sashes, with the attic one dating to about 1700. The right facade has three original window openings and one a later insertion, although the ground floors windows are now blocked. The timber framing is exposed through much of the building.

The Aviva Building is an office building in the city centre of York, in England. The building lies by the River Ouse, on a prominent site in the centre of the historic city. It was designed by the Hurd Rolland Partnership, led by Brian Paul. Paul initially proposed a modern building, based around "tumble down masonry cubes" which would create a traditional skyline. The York Civic Trust successfully argued for a more traditional design, including gables and windows with mullions and transoms. The building is six storeys high along the river, and four storeys along Tanner Row. It has an octagonal tower. The river and Tanners Moat facades are faced in Magnesian Limestone, and John Brooke Fieldhouse describes it as the city's only post-World War II building to be faced largely with quarried stone. The Tanner Row and rear facades are of brick. The ground floor is rusticated, and there are string courses at the first- and third-floor levels. At the rear, there is a rooftop car park. The building was completed in 1993. Patrick Nuttgens wrote approvingly of the design as fitting in with the city's heritage, but Peter Davey writing in the Architectural Review criticised its facadism.The building originally housed the regional headquarters of the General Accident insurance company. Following a series of mergers, it became the headquarters of Aviva. In 2018, the stonework was cleaned.

St Martin-cum-Gregory's Church is a Grade I listed former parish church in the Church of England in York.

The Grand, formerly the Grand Hotel and Spa, is a Grade II* listed hotel in York, England, the city's only 5-star hotel. Opened in May 2010 and renovated and extended in 2017–18, it is an Edwardian building dating to 1906, originally the headquarters of the North Eastern Railway, with views of the York city walls and York Minster. It is owned by Splendid Hospitality Group.

1 Tanner Row is a historic building in the city centre of York, in England. The building was originally constructed in the late 15th century, as a Wealden hall house, which by the date was a common design in South East England, but rare in York. 1 Tanner Row and the Wealden Hall, also in the city, are the two northernmost surviving examples of Wealden halls. As built, it had a large open hall, with a two-storey block on the east, and another to the west which could not be accessed from the hall. In the 17th century, the hall and the east block were divided to form two tenements. As part of the conversion, a floor was added to divide the hall vertically, and it was extended to jetty out, matching the east and west blocks. A central chimney and two staircases were also added. The building was refronted in the 18th century. In the late 19th century, the west block became vacant, and it was demolished in 1929. Around this time, the roof of the remaining part of the building was replaced. Although it became vacant in the mid-20th century, it was restored in the early 1970s, and again in 1991, to serve as offices. In 1971, it was Grade II* listed.The building is timber framed and is now all two stories high. It lies on the corner of Tanner Row and North Street, and there is a decorated beam at the corner. The original doorway, now altered, is in the middle of the North Street facade, and to its right are a 19th-century door and large window. To the south, the building now adjoins another house, and the dividing wall has been rebuilt in brick. Inside, much of the timber framing survives, as does one 17th-century staircase.

Jacobs Well is a mediaeval Grade I listed building in the Micklegate area of York, in England. It is the church hall of Holy Trinity, Micklegate.

33–37 Micklegate is a historic building in the city centre of York, in England. The building lies on Micklegate, one of the major streets in the city centre. A large stone house was first recorded on the site in 1230: a hall with two cellars below, and smaller houses behind. In the late 17th century, a new structure was built on the rear part of the site, and this forms the oldest part of the current building, a two-storey, L-shaped block constructed of brick. This was constructed when the property was owned by the Wharton family, and is believed to be the work of Anthony Wharton.In the early 18th century, the front part of the current building was constructed, a two-storey block with attics, which is five bays wide. The architect Peter Atkinson bought the property in 1812. He added a third storey to the east wing, added a new staircase hall, and divided the property in two. He lived in the larger portion, later 37 Micklegate, and leased out the smaller one. By the late 1820s, Atkinson was also leasing out his former home, initially to the newspaper owner William Hargrove.In the late 19th century, the east wall of the south wing was altered, with a new entrance created, and most of the windows remodelled, although a now-blocked 17th century oval window survives. Original windows survive in the rear elevation. The whole of the ground floor is now occupied by three shops, with 20th century shopfronts. The eaves on the Micklegate front have also been remodelled. The building was grade II* listed in 1971.Inside, on the first floor of 33 Micklegate, full-height 18th century panelling survives in the front room and some original plasterwork. In the rear room on the same floor, there is full-height 17th century panelling, a blocked fireplace and an original door. The staircase has been altered, but retains 17th century balusters and, in the attic, its original handrail. 37 Micklegate retains Atkinson's staircase, a marble fireplace and plasterwork in the front room on the first floor, and in the rear room on the top floor, a frieze showing Greek characters playing musical instruments.
