21 Colliergate

18 and 19 Colliergate is a historic building in the city centre of York, in England. The building was constructed in 1748, as a house for Ralph Yoward. In 1830, it was divided into two tenements, an extra storey was added to the rear of the north half, and the interior was largely refitted. A shop front was inserted on the ground floor in the early 20th century, and in 1963 the southeast corner was rebuilt. In the early 21st century, the building was occupied by a careers service. In 2026, the upper floors were converted into two apartments, while the ground floor and basement were retained in commercial use. The building has been grade II* listed since 1954, and Nikolaus Pevsner describes it as the best building on Colliergate. The building is constructed of orange brick, with dressings of painted stone, a timber cornice with dentils and modillions, and a pantile roof. It is three storeys high, with a basement, and the front is five bays wide. The windows are sashes with painted stone sills, the staircase window at the rear having a round head. There is a stone band at second floor level. The original drainpipe survives on the front, with a hopper depicting a cherub's head, and embossed with the date 1748 and initials RY. Inside, the original staircase hall has been removed, but the staircase at the rear survives, as does the former servants' staircase above the first floor. The north rear room has an early-19th century fireplace and plasterwork, while there is a large fireplace in a basement room which was originally the kitchen. Several rooms on the upper floors have early fireplaces, woodwork and plasterwork, the most impressive being the first floor saloon, with a fireplace to a design by Batty Langley.

Whip-Ma-Whop-Ma-Gate is a street in York, England, known for its short length and unusual name. A continuation of Colliergate, it runs south to meet Pavement, Fossgate, and the Stonebow, and is adjoined by St Saviourgate on its eastern side. St Crux Parish Hall, originally one of York's medieval churches, backs onto it. The street's name was first recorded in 1505 as Whitnourwhatnourgate, and later appears as Whitney Whatneygate. It seems to mean "neither-one-thing-nor-the-other street", although a plaque on the end of the parish hall suggests the meaning "what a street!" In 17th and 18th century documents, the alternative name Salvey Rents or Salvegate is also found. Whip-Ma-Whop-Ma is the title of a novel by York author Martyn Clayton.

St Crux is a parish hall in York, in England, which incorporates the remains of a Mediaeval church.

5 Colliergate is a historic building in the city centre of York, in England. The building was constructed in the 16th century as a house, located on Colliergate. It is a timber framed building. In the 18th century, a third bay, in brick, was added at the rear; this may be a replacement for an earlier timber bay. For many years, the building was used for light manufacturing, work including paper box making and artificial floristry, then it became a shop. In about 1930 it was heavily restored, with many of the timbers being replaced, and a distinctive new ogee head being added to the passage doorway. By this time, it was one of the last surviving mediaeval buildings on the street. In 1957, it was purchased by the York Conservation Trust, which removed render from the front, replaced further timbers, and extended the ground floor shop into the passageway, replacing the former shop entrance and bow window with a larger window. The building has been grade II listed since 1954. The building is constructed of timber with plaster infill, and the rear bay of orange-red brick, with both sections having a tiled roof. It is two storeys high with an attic, a single bay wide and three bays deep. The front two bays appear to have originally been undivided at ground level, but only the front bay had an upper floor. The doorway has its original posts but a 20th-century head and nail-studded wooden door. The windows on the upper floor have three lights divided by timber mullions and square leaded-light panes.

The Central Methodist Church is a Grade II* listed building in the city centre of York in England. The church lies on St Saviourgate. It was constructed in 1840, as the Centenary Chapel, marking the 100th anniversary of the founding of the first Methodist societies.The building was designed by James Simpson in a classical style, with an Ionic portico. It consists of a basement and two stories above. To its rear, he built vestries, classrooms, band rooms, and a house for a caretaker. In 1861, the buildings to the rear were extended, to provide more classroom space. They burned down in 1863, and though they were rebuilt, they again burned down, and were again replaced in 1872. The chapel was extended in 1881 and 1885, the schoolrooms were extended in 1895, and two new vestries were added in 1909.In 1887, the chapel became the head of a circuit. In 1908 and 1926, it hosted meetings of the Wesleyan Methodist Conference. In 1982, its congregation merged with that of the Wesley Chapel, Priory Street, and it was then renamed as the "Central Methodist Church". The chapel can seat 1,500 worshippers in a horseshoe formation, some on oval gallery above. On the ground floor, there are original numbered box pews. The three-manual organ with 2,500 pipes was installed by John Brown in 1841 and rebuilt in 1931. Notable monuments include a sarcophagus dedicated to Joseph Agar, and a tabernacle dedicated to the Reverend David Hill, a local missionary to China.The church hosts regular services, although as of 2016 its congregation averaged only 45. It also holds Carecent breakfasts for homeless and disadvantaged people. The building provides space for some charities and voluntary groups in first floor offices. In 2016, its minister announced plans to add a new reception space, improve access for disabled people, and start offering the space as a community centre during the week.In October 2021, the church was one of 142 sites across England to receive part of a £35-million injection into the government's Culture Recovery Fund.
