Roots is a restaurant on Marygate, just north of the city centre of York in England. The building was constructed as the Bay Horse public house between 1893 and 1894. It replaced an earlier pub of the same name, which was on the opposite side of the road. It was designed by Walter and Arthur Penty. From 1951 until 1986, it was run by Eve and Arthur Briggs. It closed in 2004, at which time it was owned by Wolverhampton and Dudley Breweries. In 2007, the brewery proposed converted the building into an office with flats above; however, it instead reopened as a pub in 2008.In 2018, chef Tommy Banks and restaurateur Matthew Lockwood converted the building into a restaurant, named "Roots", which focuses on local produce and self-sufficiency.

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 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.

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.
