The Priory, York

85–89 Micklegate is a Grade II* listed medieval building in the city centre of York, England. The building was constructed in about 1500, in the grounds of Micklegate Priory and facing onto Micklegate, one of the main streets in York. The building does not appear on John Speed's generally accurate map of the city in 1610, which has led to an argument that it was constructed after this date; but stylistic features, such as the double-jettying on the front and the crown post roof, point to an earlier date, and Speed's omission may have been in order to show the buildings associated with the priory more clearly.It is likely that the building was constructed to be rented out and provide more income for the priory. Its division into three properties is original, and originally each property had a single room on each of the three floors. Stairs appear to have originally been in annexes at the back of the buildings, but about 1600 a wing was added at the back of number 89, while in the 18th century one was added to number 87. Around 1660, the building was rendered to improve its weatherproofing. From at least the early 18th century, the properties were occupied by butchers. The current ground-floor shop windows are Victorian.The building was listed in 1954, but by 1967 it was in poor condition. It was restored by the Ings Property Company, the process including the removal of the external rendering, and it is now owned by the York Conservation Trust. The ground floor is used by shops, with apartments above.

The Falcon is a historic pub on Micklegate in the city centre of York, in England. The establishment originated as an inn named The Falcon, in the 18th-century. It was first recorded in 1715, and in 1736, Francis Drake named it one of two notable inns on the street. In 1818, William Hargrove described it as the most notable inn on the road. Its site stretched back to Tanner Row, where its stables were located. With the opening of York railway station, the stagecoach trade declined, and the inn struggled. In 1842 and 1843, the site was redeveloped, being divided between a smaller pub (now 94 Micklegate) and a neighbouring house (now 96 Micklegate). The only surviving feature of the inn was a gilded carved figure of a falcon, acting as a pub sign. The Victorian buildings are of three storeys and an attic, and largely original sash windows above the ground floor. The pub also has a bay window on the first floor. There is a substantial cornice above the second floor. Inside, 96 Micklegate retains an original staircase, but the property has been converted into a shop. Since 1971, the pair of buildings has been Grade II listed. In 1981, a new cellar was added underneath the rear yard of the Falcon. In 2002, the pub was converted into a bar named "Rumours". However, in 2014 it returned to operating as a pub, under the name The Falcon Tap, and the original cellar was reopened. In 2017, permission was received to demolish modern rear extensions, and replace them with nine flats, and two more on the upper floors of the main building, while also halving the area of the bar. By 2018, it was listed in the Good Beer Guide. In 2018, it was purchased by Almero Holdings and closed unexpectedly for conversion into an aparthotel, intending to retain the pub on the ground floor. In 2022, it reopened, as "The Falcon", run by the owners of the Turning Point Brewery.

Micklegate House is a Grade I listed building in York, a city in England. The house lies on Micklegate, in the city centre. It was completed by 1752, as a town house for John Bourchier of Beningbrough Hall. It is often said to have been designed by John Carr, a local architect, as it is similar to other designs by him, although there is no firm evidence of this attribution.Bourchier died in 1759, and the house passed to his wife. When she died, in 1796, it was leased to James Walker, then to Joshua Crompton, who bought the freehold in 1815 and whose descendants lived in the property until 1896. The house was then used as business premises, and many of the fittings were sold, most of the best being moved to Treasurer's House.The house is the largest on the street, three stories high and seven bays wide. The front is of red brick, with stone dressings, and the rear of pink brick. Some original sash windows survive, as do a fireplace and bread oven on the second floor. The hall retains rich decoration and a grand staircase to the first floor, and the dining room and library on the ground floor also retain some original fittings.The house was listed in 1954, along with its railings and lamp brackets. In 2015, it was converted into the Safestay hostel.

The Wesley Chapel on Priory Street, in the Bishophill area of York, in England, is a grade II* listed building. The church was built in 1856, on the newly-developed Priory Street, the area formerly having been part of the grounds of the Holy Trinity Priory. On opening, it was able to accommodate 1,500 worshippers, and it was extended the following year, with the addition of a school, a Sunday school, and a house for a preacher. The design was by James Simpson, and it cost £10,936.The chapel is built of brick, in a classical style, with a stone pediment, and stone around the windows and doors. The front is of five bays, and two storeys. It has three main entrance doors, and two arched windows on the ground floor, and three arched windows above. The left and right facades are of seven bays, but designed in a similar manner. Inside, the foyer is fully panelled, with a glazed screen separating it from the auditorium. The screen incorporates a memorial panel to congregation members killed in World War I. Doors in the side of the screen lead to staircases up to an oval gallery. This is above the auditorium, which retains its original pews, and have stained glass in every window except one, much in an Art Nouveau style.Later in the 19th-century, a lecture hall was added at the rear of the building, its design possibly by G. T. Andrews. In 1892, a new organ, built by James Binns, was installed, and the buildings were extended in 1907 and 1910. In 1914, a new porch was added. During World War II, the school was taken over by the council, as the Manor Secondary Modern School, and that building is now the separate Priory Centre.The chapel was originally part of the York Circuit of the Wesleyan Methodist Church. In 1867, it became the head of the new York Wesley Circuit, covering the city west of the River Ouse. In 1932, the Wesleyan Methodists became part of the new Methodist Church of Great Britain, and the chapel headed the revised Wesley Circuit. The chapel closed in 1982, with its congregation transferring to the Central Methodist Church. It was purchased by a congregation linked to the Assemblies of God, and was renamed as the Assembly of God Church, then in 1993 it was renamed as the Rock Church. At this point, it was still part of the Assemblies of God, but aimed to offer a more contemporary expression of worship, with rock music and a dance academy. By 2006, it claimed an average weekly attendance of 250 adults. In 2018, it was again renamed, as QChurch.

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.

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 Windmill Inn is a pub on Blossom Street, immediately west of the city centre of York, in England. The oldest part of the pub is on the corner of Blossom Street and Queen Street, although until 1911 another building separated it from Queen Street. Dating from the late-17th century, it was constructed as two cottages and was probably part of reconstruction in the area following the Siege of York. This section is brick built, but with timber framed internal partitions. It contains early chimney breasts and a mid-18th century staircase, and the bay windows at the front date from 1785 or earlier, though they have been heavily altered.The building is first recorded as the "Windmill Inn" in a deed of 1735. At the time, it was owned by the Lee family, who had previously leased a windmill near the top of The Mount. Soon after the purchase, it was extended south along Blossom Street, and then in 1820 a further extension was added to the south, incorporating a carriage arch into the hotel's yard. A stable range was also added, behind the main range. In about 1890, the building was extended to the west, along Queen Street, with the extension incorporating parts of a mid-18th century building including its staircase, and doors dating to about 1840. When the inn was sold in 1867, it was advertised as one of the oldest in the city, and having stabling for 65 horses, with a total value of £800. Trade increased with the opening of York railway station nearby, and in 1893 it sold for £3,750, including a neighbouring brewhouse. By 1902, it had 21 bedrooms available, and it began catering to cyclists and motor car drivers.Legend holds that the pub is haunted by the ghost of a girl who was run over by a brewer's cart, and also by an ostler. A mysterious cold mist has been said to have been experienced. The York Press has listed the pub as one of the five most haunted in the city.As of 2022, the pub is owned by Greene King. Since 1968, the building has been grade II listed.
