Colliergate is a street in the city centre of York, in England. History The are occupied by the street lay outside the Roman York city walls, city walls, but fell within the Canabae of Eboracum, a residential and industrial area. It is believed that, during the Viking, Jorvik, period, the street formed the eastern side of a lengthy open area. The name of the street first appeared in 1303, arising from the charcoal merchants in the area. A statue of Ebrauk, the legendary founder of the city, stood where the street meets St Saviourgate; this may have been a reused Roman statue.

Pavement (York)
Pavement is a street in the city centre of York, in England. History The area occupied by Pavement was outside the Roman city walls, but fairly central within the Mediaeval walls of York. During the Anglo-Saxon and Viking eras, it was at the heart of the commercial area of Jorvik. The location of one of York's two early markets, the road was known as Marketshire, a name first recorded in 1086, and shared with the city ward in which it was located. It was alternatively known as Ousegate, which remains the name of its western continuation. By the Middle Ages, its market days were Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, and the central part of the street was roughly its present width - far wider than most city streets of the time. From 1329, the street was increasingly known as "Pavement", which is likely to indicate that it was one of the first roads in the city to be paved.

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.

St Crux Church, York
St Crux is a parish hall in York, in England, which incorporates the remains of a Mediaeval church. History The building is on Pavement, although it is entered from The Shambles, while it backs onto Whip-Ma-Whop-Ma-Gate. St Crux was first mentioned in the Domesday Book, at which time it belonged to the Count of Mortain, later passing to St Mary's Abbey. The church was rebuilt between 1402 and 1424, incorporating a Saxon carved stone into the north wall. The tower was rebuilt from 1697, and Francis Drake described the Italianate tower as "a handsome new steeple of brick coined with stone". Although the church was regarded as one of the finest in the city, by the 19th-century, it was in a poor condition, and it was closed in 1880; the parish was soon merged into that of All Saints' Church. Fisher and Hepper drew up plans in 1884 to restore the church, but it was instead demolished three years later, over the objections of the Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings. ...
