30–32 Goodramgate and 11–12 College Street
30 and 32 Goodramgate and 11 and 12 College Street is a Grade II* listed building in the city centre of York, in England. The building lies on the corner of Goodramgate and College Street. The part facing College Street was constructed in the early 14th century, while the part facing Goodramgate was constructed in the 1380s or 1390s as part of a terrace of houses, replacing a large stone house which belonged to John le Romeyn. The structure also includes a gatehouse which is believed to represent an entrance to the Mediaeval Minster Close, but which was completely rebuilt about 1600. The main parts of the building were altered in the 18th and 19th centuries, when much of the timber was replaced with brickwork. By 1752, part of the building was in use as the Angel Inn. The Goodramgate façade is of two storeys and four bays, and includes a double-storey gatehouse built in the 18th century. The ground floor of the entire building is currently in use as shops and cafes, with part occupied by the National Trust. It was listed at Grade II* in 1954.

The Golden Slipper, York
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.

The Royal Oak, York
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.

St William's College
St William's College is a Mediaeval building in York, England, originally built to provide accommodation for priests attached to chantry chapels at nearby York Minster. It is a Grade I listed building.
The college was founded in 1460 by George Neville and the Earl of Warwick to house 23 priests and a provost. It was named after St William of York.
In 1465, work started on the present building. This courtyard structure may incorporate parts of two earlier houses. It included a great hall to the north, with a chapel to its east. The hall survives in part, but its ceiling has been lowered and the plasterwork was replaced in 1910. The posts of a screens passage also remain, the other side of which is the fireplace of the original kitchen. It has been suggested that doorways led off the courtyard to staircases, with rooms for the provost and fellows of the college leading off them.
While the college was not a monastic establishment, it was affected by the Dissolution of the Monasteries, as in 1548, the building was converted to a substantial house, with later tenants including Charles Howard, 3rd Earl of Carlisle. Around this time, a single main staircase was added, which survives, while a room to the south-west has remains of wall paintings from this era. In the 17th century, the "Bishop's Chamber" was created on the first floor, to the west of the great hall, and it survives largely intact. In the 18th century, part of the ground floor was used for retail, and bow windows were added, which still survive. Otherwise, the façade generally survives as built, with an ashlar ground floor and a timber-framed, jettied upper floor. The doorway itself is a replacement, but the coats of arms above are from about 1670, and carvings of Saint Christopher and the Virgin and Child either side of the entrance also survive.
