Monkgate is a street in York, North Yorkshire running north-east from the city centre.

Middleton House is a grade II* listed building on Monkgate, immediately east of the city centre of York in England. The house was built in about 1700. It may have been constructed for Benjamin West, who is known to have owned two of the neighbouring plots. Originally, the house was two storeys high, five bays wide at the front, and had an "L"-shaped plan. In about 1770, the space between Middleton House and 40 Monkgate was filled when a carriage arch was constructed, with two rooms above. These originally formed part of 40 Monkgate, but are now part of Middleton House. Around the same time, a third storey was added to Middleton House.In 1798, the Unitarian minister Charles Wellbeloved bought the house. In 1803, he consented to become the principal of Manchester College, on the condition that it was relocated to York. This was agreed, and it was accommodated in Middleton House until 1811. In order to increase the space for the academy, the north ground floor room was extended, new rooms were added at the rear of the building, and a new carriage arch was constructed. In the 20th century, the carriage arch was filled in, with another room added.The building is constructed of brick. Original sash windows survive on the ground floor. Inside, the decoration of the north ground floor room dates from the early 19th century, with the fireplace surround and cupboards being by John Wolstenholme. Most of the staircase is original, although the balusters of the bottom flight were changed in the early 18th century. One of the rooms over the carriageway has a mid-18th century fireplace surround, and two other rooms have firegrates made by Carron in about 1803.The house was purchased by the York Conservation Trust in 1990, who converted it into apartments and renovated the building.

Its front was rebuilt in 1837. The site was included in the Central Historic Core conservation area in 1968. The pub was refurbished in January 2025, and as of July 2025 the freehold is owned by Stonegate.

The Richard III Experience at Monk Bar (formerly known as the Richard III Museum) was located in Monk Bar, the tallest of the four gatehouses in the historical city walls of York, England. It described the life of Richard III, the last king of the Plantagenet dynasty. The museum explored Richard's early life, and the battles that raged between the houses of Lancaster and York during the Wars of the Roses. It described his reign and his death at the Battle of Bosworth, alongside multimedia presentations about the key battles of the Wars of the Roses. There was also arms and armour from his reign, including the only known fragment of a gun from that period.In 2014, the York Archaeological Trust's Jorvik Group (which operates the Jorvik Viking Centre) took over the space within Monk Bar that had housed the Richard III Museum since 1993, and created "The Richard III Experience at Monk Bar". They also replaced the contents of the Micklegate Bar Museum and created "The Henry VII Experience at Micklegate Bar".The museum, along with other visitor attractions operated by the Jorvik Group, closed in 2020 at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. When the group's larger sites reopened in July 2020 the Richard III and Henry VII experiences remained closed owing to their limited capacity for social distancing. The Henry VII Experience was replaced by the City Walls Experience which opened in April 2022.

The Oliver Sheldon House is a Grade II* listed house on Aldwark, in the city centre of York, in England. The earliest surviving part of the house is some 15th-century internal framing. In the late 16th century, a block was added to the rear, the design of which is tentatively attributed by the Royal Commission on the Historical Monuments of England (RCHME) to William Garbutt. In 1703, it was purchased by Charles Redman, who soon became Lord Mayor of York. He rebuilt the exterior, in brick, in about 1720, the work being completed under his son William. He sold the house in 1748, following which it was divided, and the south-east doorway was added. By the mid-19th century, part of the building operated as the Ebor Tavern. In 1961, the whole building was donated to the York Civic Trust, which commissioned Francis Johnson to restore it as flats, the work being complete in 1969. The trust named the property after Oliver Sheldon, who had been a leading figure in the organisation.The building is of two storeys and an attic, with the front having eight windows and two doors. The front is of orange brick, with a stone plinth and a timber cornice. One drainhead is dated 1732. Internally, much 18th-century work survives, including the flooring in the entrance and staircase halls, the oak main staircase, the ceiling above the staircase, and the panelling of two ground floor rooms. The half-landing, in the middle of the staircase, has a wooden floor which the RCHME describe as "exceptional". One rear ground floor room has an early-17th century ceiling, and a fireplace surround which was moved from 27 Trinity Lane in 1969.

The Royal Oak is a pub in the city centre of York, in England. The pub lies on Goodramgate. The building is believed to date from the 15th-century and is largely timber-framed, although much of it has been rebuilt. The north-eastern section is of three storeys and contains one original internal wall, while the south-western section was originally a single-storey hall and contains part of one original partition wall, plus a reset Mediaeval beam.In the 18th-century, the north-eastern section was extended to the rear, in brick. Many of the features of the upper floors date from this period, including the staircase. A second storey was added to the south-western section in the 19th-century, while in 1934 the ground floor was refurbished, with a new frontage, in the Brewer's Tudor style.The building was a pub by 1772, when it was known as the Blue Pigg. It later became known as the Blue Boar, and has been the Royal Oak since 1819. From 1894, it was owned by the local John J. Hunt Brewery, while in the mid-20th century, it was acquired by Camerons Brewery.

The Dutch House is a historic house, lying on Ogleforth, in the city centre of York, in England. The house was built in brick in about 1650, with Andrew Graham dating it to 1648. It is a small building and originally had two rooms on the ground floor and one on the first floor. Later in the 17th-century, two Dutch gables were added to the front, each with a dormer window. Originally, it is believed to have had only an external staircase, suggesting that it was not a domestic building.In the 18th century, the building's interior was heavily altered, and by the early 19th century, it had been divided into three tenements. In 1954, it was Grade II* listed but it was in a poor state of repair, and in 1956, John Smith's Brewery announced plans to demolish it. Instead, the York Civic Trust restored the building, with much of the front wall entirely rebuilt, as a copy of the original. It then formed part of the brewery, but in 2010 was converted to accommodation, and has since been available to let for holidays. This more recent work won a York Design Award.The building is of two storeys and an attic. It is four bays wide, with the leftmost bay having no windows or doors. The other three all differ: a window with three lights on each floor in the second bay, a round-headed door with an oriel window above in the third bay, and a smaller first floor window in the fourth bay, with the ground floor window having been filled in, though its pediment remains.

Bedern is a street in the city centre of York, in England, which originated as a college for the vicars choral of York Minster.

The Golden Slipper is a Grade II listed pub in the city centre of York, England.The pub lies on Goodramgate. It was originally constructed about 1500 as a house, with the north-eastern half the building dating from this period. This section is three storeys high and timber-framed. Its facade is jettied to the street, and rendered over. To its right, it originally overhung an alleyway, but the neighbouring Royal Oak has since extended into this space. In the 18th-century, it was extended to the rear, in brick, with an attic added to this section in the 19th-century.The south-western half of the building dates from the 19th-century. It is brick-built and of two storeys, with a basement and attic. Internally, the building has been frequently altered and does not retain any original features. Its ground floor, based around a corridor, is largely Victorian, but was partly redesigned in 1983, against the objections of the Campaign for Real Ale.The older half of the building may have already been a pub in the 18th-century, named the Show, the name taken either from a greyhound, or as an alternative spelling of "shoe". By 1812, it was The Slipper, becoming The Golden Slipper in the 20th-century.There are stories of the pub being haunted, with ghosts said to manifest themselves when the building is being decorated. The haunting was linked to the discovery of a Mediaeval children's shoe in 1984, during work at the pub. The building was later exorcised.
