Fossgate
Fossgate is a street in the city centre of York, in England. History The street is believed to follow the line of a Roman road leading south-east out of Eboracum. Although it lay outside the Roman walls, it is known that there was a civilian settlement in the area. There is no evidence of occupation in the Anglian period, but in Scandinavian Jorvik, it was fully built up, mostly for industrial and commercial uses. The street was first mentioned in about 1130. In the Medieval period, it fell within the parish of St Crux, and that church was sometimes regarded as lying on the street, although it was entered from Pavement. In 1295, the York Carmelite Friary was built to the east of the street, and it was entered from a gateway near the Pavement end of Fossgate. In 1357, the Merchant Adventurer's Hall was built, set back from the street. Many of the boundaries between building plots also date from this period. In 1590, a cattle market was established on the street, held ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

8 Fossgate
8 Fossgate is a historic building in the city centre of York, in England. The oldest part of the building is the front block, facing onto Fossgate. The three-storey timber framed block dates from the early 17th century, and was originally only one room deep. In the late 17th century, it was extended to the rear, and its former rear wall was rebuilt in brick. In about 1700, a separate two-storey brick house was constructed at the rear of the site, incorporating what is believed to be part of the wall of the York Carmelite Friary at its base, where it faces onto Black Horse Passage. In the 19th century, a long, two-storey block was built to connect the two existing buildings. The building was Grade II listed in 1954. For more than 60 years until 2020, it was occupied by Connollys Homestyle.

The Blue Bell, York
The Blue Bell is a historic pub in the city centre of York, England. The pub lies on the south-west side of Fossgate. History The building was constructed in the late 17th-century, as a five-bay timber-framed house, with a central staircase. It originally had a jettied front, but it was refronted in the 18th-century. The facade of the lower two floors was replaced with brick, while the top floor appears to have been retained and rendered over. At the rear, the original jettied facade survives, although its ground floor is obscured by later outbuildings. Around this time, the house was divided in two, the other half becoming 54 Fossgate. In 1798, 53 Fossgate opened as The Blue Bell. The pub was later purchased by C. J. Melrose and Sons, a local chain of pubs and wine merchants. In 1903, the chain refurbished it, and it retains its layout and fittings from this period. These include doors, windows, glazed screens with service hatches and varnished matchboarding on the wall ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
