16–22 Coney Street is a terrace of shops in the city centre of York, in England. The terrace was built in about 1500 as three timber-framed houses, with their gable ends facing onto Coney Street. In the 18th century, the windows were altered, and the front was plastered over. In the 19th century, a brick extension was added at the rear of 20 and 22 Coney Street. At that time, numbers 16 and 18 were a well-known bookshop run by Henry Sotheran.In 1927, 16 and 18 Coney Street were renovated, with the plaster removed, new windows added in a historic style, and an extension added at the rear. In 1960, they were renovated again, and modern-style windows put in. In 1954, the whole terrace was Grade II* listed.Inside, 16 and 18 have an early-19th-century staircase. Number 20 has many early-19th-century fittings and a fireplace surround from the second quarter of the 18th century. Number 22 has two early-17th-century doors. Its upper floors are accessed by a staircase in 24 Coney Street, which is 18th century.

Judges Court
Judges Court

Judges Court is a historic building in the city centre of York, in England. The building lies in a courtyard, off Coney Street. It was built at the start of the 18th century, while some of the walls in the south corner may survive from an earlier structure. From 1720, it served as lodgings for judges presiding over Assize Courts in the city. In 1806, the judges were relocated to Judges' Lodgings, and the house was let short-term to families visiting the city. In 1841, it became the ministers' house for the Wesleyan chapel on New Street, and it later served as offices. It was Grade II* listed in 1971, along with its front steps and railings.In the 2010s, the building was converted into a 15-bedroom hotel, with each room named after a judge who stayed in the building. It originally shared owners with the city's Churchill hotel. In 2023, it was put up for sale, for £3 million.The building is constructed of brick, with the front and sides covered in Victorian render, with stone dressings, timber gutters, and a slate roof. The central entrance is up stone steps, with cast iron railings, and there is a 19th-century front door with a fanlight above. The front abuts the rear of 28 and 30 Coney Street, and although that building is 20th century, there has been a structure in that location since Judges Court was built. The windows are sashes, and mostly 19th century. At the rear, there is a spiral staircase, which leads down to the basement.Inside the building, there are brick-vaulted cellars. The south corner room on the ground floor has early panelling, and the first floor room above has an early fireplace, as does one attic room. The main staircase, and the surviving part of the back staircase above the first floor are also early. Many of the remaining fixtures are 19th century.

York County Savings Bank Building
York County Savings Bank Building

The York County Savings Bank Building is a historic building in the city centre of York, in England. The York County Savings Bank was established in 1816, and in 1829 it purchased a large timber-framed house on St Helen's Square, from R. Cattle. Watson, Pritchett and Watson designed a new headquarters building for the bank on the site, which was completed in March 1830, at a total cost of £4,691.In the early 20th century, the position of the doors was moved, and the internal ground floor layout was altered. In 1924, it was extended to the north-west, along Blake Street. In 1976, the bank became part of the Trustee Savings Bank (TSB). The ground floor was further altered in 1991. The TSB became part of Lloyds TSB, then independent again before leaving the building in 2015. In 2022, the building was converted into the Impossible Motel.The original part of the building has two storeys and is built of brick, but is faced with sandstone which was quarried near Huddersfield. It has one-and-a-half bays facing St Helen's Square, one curving around the corner, and three-and-a-half bays facing Blake Street. The extension has three storeys, but each is lower, allowing the roof level to remain the same, and continues a further three bays along Blake Street.The entrance is a double door on the curved bay, flanked by Doric columns, while the first floor has Composite columns and plain pilasters. The original doors have been converted to windows, while there is a secondary door at the far end of the extension. Atop the corner is a pediment, carved with the words "SAVINGS BANK".Inside, the former boardroom on the first floor has a coffered ceiling, with oak leaf and acorn decorations. In the extension is an early 19th-century chimney piece, which has been relocated.The building was grade II listed in 1968.
