Bootham Crescent
Bootham Crescent

Bootham Crescent in York, England, was the home of York City Football Club and York City Knights rugby league club. With a capacity of 8,256, it was near the city centre, just over a mile from York railway station. As of February 2023 the ground has been fully demolished to make way for the building of new houses. York City leased land at Bootham Crescent from York Cricket Club as a replacement for their ground at Fulfordgate on the outskirts of the city. The ground was constructed in four months, and opened on 31 August 1932. In the Second World War, the Popular Stand was converted into an air-raid shelter, and the ground suffered slight damage when a bomb landed on houses along the Shipton Street End. York purchased Bootham Crescent for £4,075 in 1948. Floodlights were fitted at the ground in 1959, and replaced by ones twice as powerful in 1995. A number of improvements were made in the early 1980s, with a gymnasium, offices and a lounge for officials built. The David Longhurst Stand opened in 1991 after a roof was erected on the Shipton Street End, named after the former York player David Longhurst who died during a match at the ground in 1990. Bootham Crescent hosted Football League matches from 1932 to 2004 and from 2012 to 2016, both spells ending after York were relegated into non-League football. The ground was renamed KitKat Crescent from 2005 to 2010 as part of a sponsorship deal with Nestlé. York City left Bootham Crescent and moved to the York Community Stadium in Huntington in early 2021, and the Bootham Crescent site will be used for housing. Bootham Crescent comprises four stands: the Main Stand, the Popular Stand, the David Longhurst Stand and the Grosvenor Road End. The ground has held a league representative match, neutral club matches, and schoolboy and youth international matches. Other than football, it has hosted a concert, firework display, American football and rugby league matches and beer festivals. The record attendance of 28,123 was set in March 1938, for an FA Cup match against Huddersfield Town. The highest seasonal average attendance of 10,412 was achieved in 1948–49.

Bootham Lodge
Bootham Lodge

Bootham Lodge is a historic building, lying on Bootham, immediately north of the city centre of York, in England. The building was constructed as a house, with work starting in 1840, and completed in 1845. It was built for Thomas Walker, a local solicitor, at the same time as its similar neighbour, 54 Bootham. Its original kitchen was in the basement, but a new kitchen was added at the rear soon after the building was constructed.In the 20th century, the building was converted to offices, and for many years it served as the headquarters of the Flaxton Rural District, then of the Ryedale district, also housing its council chamber. It was later taken over by York City Council, to house its office for births, deaths and marriages. In 2003, it was purchased by the York Conservation Trust and renovated, to become the city's register office. A new extension was added at the rear, to serve as a wedding room, with French doors leading into the newly landscaped garden, designed to act as a backdrop for wedding photography. The upper floors are leased out, separately from the ground, as offices. The three-storey building is built of brick, broadly in the typical style of a Victoria villa. There are single-storey wings to the left and right of the building, the one to the left containing a carriage entrance. Its main entrance is under a porch, in the Tuscan order, which supports a balcony, with an iron balustrade manufactured by the local John Walker foundry. The railings in front of the building are original, and also by John Walker, with heads in an organic style.Inside, there is a central hall, with a large fireplace, moved from the first floor. There are two staircases, each with iron balusters and mahogany handrails. The fireplaces and plasterwork were designed by Francis Wostenholme.The building and its railings were Grade II listed in 1954.
