The Swan is a Grade II listed historic pub, lying immediately south-west of the city centre of York, in England. The pub was built as a beer house and grocery in 1861, at the end of a terrace on Bishopgate Street, the northern extension of Bishopthorpe Road. In 1899, it was purchased by the Joshua Tetley's & Son brewery, which in 1936 decided to remodel the pub. The redesign was executed by the Leeds architecture firm Kitson, Parish, Ledgard and Pyman, and it survives largely intact.The design centres on a large drinking lobby, with two rooms leading off, the public bar to the front and the grander smoke room to the rear. Each has a hatch for bar service. There is a hatch from the servery to Clementhorpe, which was used for take-out sales, but is no longer in use. At the rear of the pub, there are stairs up to first-floor accommodation, and down to the cellar.Surviving features from the 1936 redesign include the fitted seats, terrazzo floor, bell pushes, and toilets. It was made a Tetley's heritage pub in 1985 and was listed in 2010 following a campaign by the Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA). That organisation describes the pub as "one of the best preserved interiors of its kind in the country".In 2009, CAMRA named The Swan its York Pub of the Year. By 2017, the pub was owned by Punch Taverns. That year, the landlord used the Pubs Code Regulations 2016 to move from being a tied house to operating on a market rent-only basis. In 2020, the pub was one of fourteen in the city to appear in the Good Beer Guide.

The Golden Ball is a pub in the Bishophill area of central York, in England. The first record of the pub was in 1773. The core part of the building was constructed in the early 19th century. In 1883, a house for the publican was constructed by Benson & Minks, adjoining the pub. The pub was sold to Braime's Brewery in 1884, and this in 1902 was taken over by John Smith's Brewery. In 1929, the pub was constructed by their architect Bertram Wilson. He combined the two buildings, raised the ceiling height in the older part of the building, and decorated the front of the pub. In the 1990s, an additional room was added to the pub, from what was formerly a private area. The pub has otherwise been little altered since the 1920s, and is described by the Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA) as "the most complete surviving inter-war scheme by John Smith's". In 2010, the pub was grade II listed on the initiative of CAMRA, and it appears on that organisation's National Inventory of Historic Pub Interiors. In 2012, the pub was taken over by a co-operative of local residents. Since then, it has held beer festivals, an annual summer fete, and sells works by local artists. It also hosts local music nights. The pub has two storeys and a cellar. The whole building is constructed of brick, but the older part, on the corner of Victor Street, has tiling at the ground floor level, and is rendered at the first floor. Its entrance is on Cromwell Road, opening onto a corridor, with the former smoke bar on the left, and the public bar on the right. Historic England notes that it has the only known surviving example of a "bar-side seating alcove", known as a "hall". There is a now-disused doorway for take-away sales, signed "Jug & Bottle Dept". The ground floor windows on Victor Street incorporate etched glass, advertising John Smiths and Magnet Ales. Many internal fittings survive from the 1929 redesign, including doors, tiling, flooring, and the bar.

St Mary Bishophill Junior, York is a Grade I listed parish church in the Church of England, in the Bishophill area of York.

St Mary Bishophill Senior was an Anglican parish church in the Bishophill area of York, in England. In about 350, a villa was built on the site, with an open courtyard. In the 10th century, a rectangular enclosure was formed on the site, probably representing a religious burial ground. A church was constructed in the early 11th century, a small rectangular stone building, reusing some Roman and Northumbrian stones. In about 1180, a north aisle was added, and a south door was inserted. The enclosure was also enlarged, to both east and west. In the early 13th century, a chancel was added, longer than the original structure, which became the church nave. In about 1300, the north aisle was extended one bay further east, and in about 1319 a north chapel was built. The north aisle of the chancel was rebuilt, perhaps in 1403, while in the late 15th century two south windows were inserted, and the east window and roof were replaced. In the 17th century, brick was used to heighten the chancel, and in 1659 a north west tower was built, replacing a detached tower in the churchyard. The oldest surviving record of the church dates from 1202. Both the crown and successive noble families had the right to appoint rectors, and the church often had two incumbents, until the mid 18th century. In 1586, the parish was extended to include Clementhorpe, outside York city walls. Work on the church continued when a brick porch was added in the late 18th century, and in 1841 a gallery was built, to house a growing congregation. The church was restored in 1866 by J. B. and W. Atkinson, but it soon fell into decline. in 1876 the new St Clement's Church was made the parish church, with St Mary reduced to being a chapel of ease. This decision was unpopular with parishoners, and in 1885 the church was instead moved into the parish of St Mary Bishophill Junior. The church was used for worship until 1919, and was closed entirely in 1930. By 1950, it was in a poor state of repair, and although it was grade I listed, it was demolished in 1963. Excavations were carried out on the site, but speculation that there had been a Saxon cathedral on the site was not confirmed. On demolition, some monuments and fittings were moved to St Clement's Church on Scarcroft Road, the organ and plate were moved to St Mary Bishophill Junior, and parts of the fabric were re-used in the construction of Holy Redeemer Church, on Boroughbridge Road. Shortly after, York Civic Trust described these as "all the interesting parts of the structure". The churchyard survives, including a number of memorials, and the wall and gates, which largely date from the 17th to the 19th centuries and are grade II listed. The section to the south-east may incorporate part of the Saxon boundary wall.

South Bank is an area of York in the county of North Yorkshire, England. It is to the south of the River Ouse. It was home to the now-closed Terry's Chocolate Works. The Chocolate Works factory opened in 1926, where over the years it manufactured Terry's Chocolate Orange, Terry's All Gold and York Fruits. Terry's was acquired by Kraft Foods in 1993, who decided in 2004 to switch production of remaining products All Gold and Chocolate Orange to factories in Belgium, Sweden, Poland and Slovakia, and close the plant. The factory closed on 30 September 2005, with the loss of 317 jobs.Located near the factory is York Racecourse, which forms part of the larger Knavesmire. There is an Athletics Club, the Knavesmire Harriers, who train in this area. South Bank is also the location of Rowntree Park, which is situated near the River Ouse. The Millennium Bridge, which links South Bank to Fishergate and Fulford on the other side of the river, was completed in 2001 at a cost of £4.2 million.Knavesmire Primary School opened in 1914 and is the main primary school in the area. Millthorpe School was formerly a specialist language college and converted to academy status in April 2016. The main Catholic secondary school in the area (and in York as a whole) is the "outstanding" All Saints RC School which also houses the only Sixth Form in the area. It has two sites, the upper site (which is host to years 10-13) is located between Tadcaster Road, Albemarle Road, Scarcroft Hill and Scarcroft Road. The parish church is St Chad's Church, designed by Walter Brierley.St Chad's Greys is the local Scout Group. It was formed in 1926 and is one of the largest groups in York and one of only three groups in North Yorkshire which have a Scout Band.

Bishophill is an area of central York, in England. It lies within the city walls and has been occupied since at least the Roman period.

Micklegate Priory, York was a Benedictine monastery founded in 1089 by Ralph Paynel, and dedicated to the Holy Trinity. It fronted on Micklegate, in the city of York, England, and the site had previously been used for Christ Church, a house of secular canons.The site is now that of Holy Trinity Church. Holbeck Manor, south of Leeds, belonged to the priory, and after the Dissolution of the Monasteries passed to the Darcy and Ingram families.

Lady Anne House is a former almshouse, now a hotel, in York, in England. The almshouse was founded by Ann Middleton, in 1659, on a site on Skeldergate, in the Bishophill area of York. Known as Middleton's Hospital, it had 22 apartments around a small yard, housing twenty widows.In 1827, the hospital was demolished, and rebuilt further back from the street, as a two-storey brick structure. It was designed by Peter Atkinson, and was completed in 1829. The garden walls also date from this period. In the centre of the front is a statue of a woman in Puritan dress, which is believed to survive from the original building. In 1939, the building was modernised, to house ten residents and a warden; however, by 1972, the building was in a poor state of repair. It was purchased by the owners of the hotel at 56 Skeldergate, who restored it, and incorporated it into their hotel, which is now known as Middletons Hotel. Since 1997, it has been a Grade II* listed building.

Baile Hill is a man-made earth mound in the Bishophill area of York, England. It is the only remaining feature of what was known as the Old Baile. The origins of Baile Hill date back to 1068. Having seized York in that year, William the Conqueror built a castle on the south side of the city close to the River Ouse. Then, as a response to a rebellion the following year, a second castle was built on the opposite side of the river. There is no clear evidence which of these castles was built first, but it is generally thought to be the one which stood on the site of the later York Castle on the east side of the river, followed by the Old Baile on the west side. Like its opposite counterpart, the Old Baile was of motte and bailey design. The motte was approximately 40 feet (12 m) high and 180 feet (66 m) in diameter, and was surrounded by a large ditch. A flight of steps led to a wooden structure at the top which was surrounded by a fence, also made of wood. The bailey lay to the north-west of the motte and was rectangular. Around its perimeter was an earth rampart and an outer ditch. The castle, it is believed, was not in regular use for long. By the 13th century it was in the hands of the Archbishop of York and in 1322 Archbishop Melton agreed to defend it in times of war. By c. 1340 part of the city wall had been built along the south-east and south-west sides of the Old Baile, incorporating the existing ramparts and ditch, however, these defences were rarely called into use. The only notable occasion was the siege of York in 1644 during the Civil War, when Baile Hill was used as a royalist gun emplacement. Apart from that, however, the Old Baile was used mainly for grazing and recreation activities, particularly archery during the medieval period. Today, Baile Hill stands at the junction of Baile Hill Terrace and Cromwell Road. The only other visible evidence of the former castle are two slight dips in the city wall rampart, one next to Baile Hill and the other close to Victoria Bar, which indicate the location of the former ditch. Houses built during the 1880s cover the rest of the Old Baile.
