The Red Lion is a pub in the city centre of York, in England. The building originated as a house, in a yard off Walmgate. The original part of the building is to the north-east, built in the 15th century as a house with a first floor hall and other rooms below. It appears to have been truncated at the north-west end, and is now one-and-a-half bays long. The south-eastern end of the building was rebuilt around 1600, and an attic was also inserted. In the 17th century, a lower wing was added to the south-west, in two stages, with a ground floor of brick. There were further extensions in the 18th century, and a new front was added in the 19th century. The building is timber framed, but has been largely reconstructed over the years. The windows are 20th-century. On the first floor, there is an access between two bedrooms, linked to the chimney, which has been described as a priest hole. In the front bar is a bread oven, which the pub claims dates from the 13th century, and on these grounds, it claims to be the city's oldest pub. However, the building only became a pub in the 19th century.In 1912, the street of Merchantgate was constructed immediately north of the pub, and it is now accessed from that road. In 1954, the pub was Grade II listed.A legend claims that Dick Turpin once escaped through a window of the pub.

Dorothy Wilson's Hospital is a historic almshouse in the city centre of York, in England. Dorothy Wilson, who died in 1717, left money for the establishment of an almshouse for ten poor women, and a school for twenty poor boys. This was set up in 1719, in her former house, on Walmgate, by the River Foss. The building was replaced in 1765, and rebuilt again in 1812, reusing some materials. In 1810, a schoolmaster's house was built behind the property. The school operated until 1895. In 1958, the building was modified to offer two-room flats, and it continues to operate as an almshouse. The building was grade II listed in 1954. In 2011, the charity operating it merged with the Ellen Wilson Hospital Charity, to form the Ellen and Dorothy Wilson Almshouse Charity. The three-storey building is constructed of brick, and is five bays wide. An inscription above the door marks the rebuilding of 1812, while an inscription at second floor level commemorates the original establishment of the institution. The staircase has been rebuilt, but incorporates balusters from the original stairs. Several original doors to rooms and cupboards survive. In general, the building is plain and undecorated inside. The York Georgian Society describes it as "notable for its fine brickwork and elegant details such as chamfered quoins, arcaded arches, and a majestic cornice". The schoolmaster's house is of two storeys, with a central porch.

York Carmelite Friary was a friary in York, North Yorkshire, England, that was established in about 1250, moved to its permanent site in 1295 and was surrendered in 1538. The original site was on Bootham in York until 1295 when William de Vescy gave the Carmelite friars a tenement in Stonebow Lane which extended as far south as the River Foss and from east to west between the streets of Fossgate and 'Mersk'. Within five years the friary church was under construction followed by the consecration of a cemetery in 1304 and the church in 1328. A royal licence was granted in 1314 that allowed the friars to build a quay on the Fishpond of the Foss and keep a boat that enabled the transporting of building materials. This licence and the gift of additional lands was followed by a number of extensions that took place throughout the 14th century culminating in the rebuilding of the church in 1392 as the friary eventually extended as far east as Hungate. The location of friary land within the parishes of St Crux and St Saviour meant that from 1301 an annual payment to St Saviour's was established following complaints from St Mary's convent to whom the church was appropriated. In 1320 Archbishop Melton stated that annual compensation was to be paid to the rector of St Crux and in 1350 the friary was restricted in the use of its chapel. The chapel, which was located above the gatehouse at the northern end of the friary, contained a life-size statue of the Virgin Mary which attracted many pilgrims, but the friars were made to remove the statue.The last Prior of the Carmelite friary, Simon Clerkson, was a supporter of the Henrician regime and, after the dissolution, was granted the vicarage of Rotherham. The friary was surrendered to Sir George Lawson in 1538 after which the site was leased to a Ralph Beckwith in 1540 and his family held the land until 1614. A few monuments and architectural fragments from the friary are in the collection of the Yorkshire Museum in York. The location of the friary can be found on several historical maps up to 1852 including Speed's map of 1610 and Baines of 1822, however the modern street pattern has significantly changed. The friary has been completely built over, however it is thought that the limestone masonry incorporated into buildings on the site may have been from the walls of the friary. In the 1990s the public house (since renamed The Terrace) on the corner of Fossgate and Stonebow was called the Northern Wall in reference to its location on the site of the former friary.In 1995, the Carmelites returned to work in York when they were invited by the Diocese of Middlesbrough to be chaplains at More House to the University of York.
