Yorkshire - Izeria

Le Yorkshire /ˈjɔːk.ʃə(ɹ)/ (en français : comté d’York) est un comté traditionnel d'Angleterre. Ce comté est le plus vaste du Royaume-Uni et est administrativement divisé entre quatre comtés cérémoniaux : le Yorkshire du Nord, le Yorkshire de l'Ouest, le Yorkshire du Sud et le Yorkshire de l'Est. Malgré cela, le Yorkshire est toujours considéré comme une entité culturelle et géographique unique. La géographie du Yorkshire se caractérise par les grandes étendues protégées des Yorkshire Dales et des North York Moors, bien qu'il abrite également les grands centres urbains de Leeds et Sheffield, qui comptent parmi les plus peuplés d'Angleterre. La rose blanche est son emblème. Le comté même possède son propre hymne régional non officiel, écrit en 1876 : On Ilkla Moor Baht 'at, qui signifie dans le dialecte d'anglais local « Sur Ilkley Moor sans un chapeau ».

36–42 Coney Street

36–42 Coney Street is a historic terrace in the city centre of York, in England. The oldest part of the terrace is the rear part of No. 36, which is a three-storey timber-framed structure built in the early 17th century, and later encased in brick. Two three-storey brick houses were constructed next to it, one in the mid-18th century, and one slightly later. In the 1780s, a terrace of three four-storey houses was built at the front of the site, facing onto Coney Street. Nos. 38 and 40 are of similar size, while No. 36 extends further back, lit in part by a light well. In the late 19th century, No. 36 was extended further back, and incorporated the buildings at the rear. The ground floor of each of the former houses is now a shop, and the shop windows of the whole terrace are decorated in the same style, incorporating tulip motifs. A passageway between Nos. 36 and 38 leads to the rear yard. Inside, some early plasterwork survives on the upper floors, as do several fireplaces. The 17th-century block has an original staircase, and Nos. 38 and 40 have 18th-century staircases. In the early 20th century, No. 36 was the local headquarters of the Women's Social and Political Union, a fact now commemorated by a plaque. The shop was occupied by Currys until 2017, and The Entertainer toy shop since 2018. The building was Grade II* listed in 1983.

Medieval parish churches of York

York had around 45 parish churches in 1300. Twenty survive, in whole or in part, a number surpassed in England only by Norwich, and 12 are used for worship. This article consists of a list of medieval churches which still exist in whole or in part, and a list of medieval churches which are known to have existed in the past but have been completely demolished. In 1086, the Domesday Book listed eight churches and a minster (not the current building). The number had declined to thirty-nine by 1428 due to taxation; nineteen medieval churches are in use today.
