The Garth is a historic building on Marygate, immediately north of the city centre of York, in England. The building was constructed in 1705, as the Grey Coat School, a charity school for girls. It accommodated up to 40 girls, who were fed, clothed and housed, and trained for domestic service. The school moved to Monkgate in 1784. In the late 19th century, the building was partly reconstructed, with many of the windows relocated. The building was later divided into flats, with many of the larger rooms subdivided. The north-west end of the building is now a separate property, known as "Little Garth", and a small part of the building has been incorporated into the neighbouring St Mary's Cottage. The building was Grade II listed in 1971. The building has an L-shaped plan. The central part of the building is three storeys high, while the right hand wing is three storeys with an attic, and the left hand wing is two storeys with an attic. The building is constructed of brick, with a pantiled roof. The windows are in a variety of styles, and include a large oriel window in the centre of the first floor, and oculus windows to the attics. Above one of the doors to Marygate is part of a carved bargeboard, which is said to date from 1635 and have been relocated from a house on High Ousegate. The facade on Marygate Lane retains some original windows, and the left-hand facade has an original entrance door. No early features survive inside the building.

St Olave's House is a historic building on Marygate, immediately north of the city centre of York in England. The building's origins lie in the early 17th century, but the oldest parts of the current building date from the later part of the century. In the late 18th century, a separate building was erected behind the left-hand part of the building, which in the early 19th century was joined to St Olave's House, and incorporated into the building, with a chimney and bay window added. In about 1900, the front to Marygate was rebuilt. The house was Grade II listed in 1997. It was sold for £1,450,000 in 2019, for £2,250,000 in 2021, and placed on the market for £2.75 million in 2023. At the time, it was marketed as "York's best address", with an unusually large plot for its location, six bedrooms, and a walled garden.The house is built of brick, painted at the front, with the front roof being slate while the other roofs are pantile. It is of two storeys, with an attic, the front having a shallow porch, a two-storey bay window to the left, timber eaves with ceramic tiles depicted rosettes with leaves, and two dormer windows. The back of the north wing has an original gable, with a single-storey modern extension in front. Inside, most fittings are from the 18th and 19th centuries. The front right room includes part of the original fireplace, and the attic staircase is late 17th century, probably originally having been the main staircase.A two-storey octagonal gazebo lies north-west of the house, originally in its garden, but now in the garden of 6 Marygate Lane. It was built in the mid 19th century of Magnesian Limestone, with a slate roof and timber finial. The windows were replaced in the 20th century, and it was Grade II listed in 1983.

Marygate is a street in York, England, running just north of the city centre. Built in the Middle Ages, it gets its name from St Mary's Abbey and the Viking word "gata," meaning street. The area where the street lies was outside the walls of the Roman city of Eboracum, and represented the northern limit of the settlement; to the north, the land was used only for burials. The street runs south-west, from Bootham, down to the River Ouse.

The only house on the south-eastern side of Marygate, it incorporates part of the early-14th century wall of St Mary's Abbey.

The front has an early door and doorcase, with a radial fanlight above. Most windows are sashes, but some have been blocked, with the southwestern rooms on the upper floors instead lit by bay windows in the gable end. There is also a blocked doorway, in which a reused font has been placed.Inside the house, many original features survive, including the main staircase, a first floor fireplace with decoration by Thomas Wolstenholme, and a decorated second-floor grate.

The York City War Memorial is a First World War memorial designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens and located in York in the north of England. Proposals for commemorating York's war dead originated in 1919 but proved controversial. Initial discussions focused on whether a memorial should be a monument or should take on some utilitarian purpose. Several functional proposals were examined until a public meeting in January 1920 opted for a monument. The city engineer produced a cost estimate and the war memorial committee engaged Lutyens, who had recently been commissioned by the North Eastern Railway (NER) to design their own war memorial, also to be sited in York. Lutyens' first design was approved, but controversy enveloped proposals for both the city's and the NER's memorials. Members of the local community became concerned that the memorials as planned were not in keeping with York's existing architecture, especially as both were in close proximity to the ancient city walls, and that the NER's memorial would overshadow the city's. Continued public opposition forced the committee to abandon the proposed site in favour of one on Leeman Road, just outside the walls, and Lutyens submitted a new design of a War Cross and Stone of Remembrance to fit the location. This was scaled back to the cross alone due to lack of funds. Prince Albert, Duke of York (later King George VI), unveiled the memorial on 25 June 1925, six years after the memorial fund was opened. It consists of a stone cross 33 feet (10 metres) high on three stone blocks and a stone base, beneath which are two further blocks and two shallow steps. It sits in a memorial garden, with an entrance designed by Lutyens using the remaining funds for the memorial. The memorial itself is a grade II* listed building, having been upgraded when Lutyens' war memorials were designated a national collection in 2015. The piers and gate at the entrance to the garden are listed separately at grade II.

Scarborough Bridge carries the railway line to Scarborough over the River Ouse in York, England. The first bridge was built in 1845, and has been renovated and rebuilt at least twice since its initial opening. A new bridge was installed in 2015 at a cost of £6 million. The first bridge had a pedestrian walkway which was located between the two running lines on the deck of the bridge, this was later moved to the east side of the bridge (in the 1875 rebuild), and finally, in the 2010s rebuild, the walkway became a separate wider bridge. The bridge is still in daily use carrying Trans-Pennine services between Scarborough and either York, or Manchester and Liverpool.

The York Museum Gardens are botanic gardens in the centre of York, England, beside the River Ouse. They cover an area of 10 acres (4.0 ha) of the former grounds of St Mary's Abbey, and were created in the 1830s by the Yorkshire Philosophical Society along with the Yorkshire Museum which they contain. The gardens are held in trust by the City of York Council and are managed by the York Museums Trust. They were designed in a gardenesque style by landscape architect Sir John Murray Naysmith, and contain a variety of species of plants, trees and birds. Admission is free. A variety of events take place in the gardens, such as open-air theatre performances and festival activities. There are several historic buildings in the gardens. They contain the remains of the west corner of the Roman fort of Eboracum, including the Multangular Tower and parts of the Roman walls. In the same area there is also the Anglian Tower, which was probably built into the remains of a late Roman period fortress. During the Middle Ages, the tower was expanded and the Roman walls were incorporated into York's city walls. Most of the other buildings dating from the Middle Ages are associated with St Mary's Abbey, including the ruins of the abbey church, the Hospitium, the lodge and part of the surviving precinct wall. The remains of St. Leonard's Hospital chapel and undercroft are on the east side of the gardens. The Yorkshire Philosophical Society constructed several buildings in the gardens during the 19th and early 20th century, including the Yorkshire Museum and its octagonal observatory. The museum houses four permanent collections, covering biology, geology, archaeology and astronomy.
