5 High Petergate
5 High Petergate is a historic building in the city centre of York, in England.
The building originated as a three-storey timber-framed building, constructed in about 1600. In about 1700, it was rebuilt in brick, retaining three storeys, and also having attics and a cellar. In the early 19th century, extensions were added at the rear, while in the 20th century, a shopfront was inserted at ground floor level, facing onto Low Petergate. The building was Grade II* listed in 1954.
The brick front is limewashed. It is topped by a cornice, with a drainpipe head in the centre, dated 1763. Inside, much early plasterwork survives. The building's main staircase dates from the early 19th century, while its rear staircase is late 18th-century. The front room on the first floor is panelled, and has pilasters of the Ionic order flanking the fireplace.

Eagle & Child, York
The Eagle & Child is a pub on High Petergate, in the city centre of York, in England.
The building was constructed in the early 17th century, as a three-storey timber-framed building, with attics and a jettied front. In the 18th century, the building was altered internally, and a brick extension was added at the rear, shared with the neighbouring Petergate House. The building's staircase survives from this period. Late that century, bays were added at the front, which survive at the first and second-floor levels. There is a large chimney between the front and rear rooms of the original part of the building, with fireplaces surviving from the 17th, 18th and early 19th centuries. The building was further altered in the 20th century, and the ground floor shopfront dates from this era.
By the mid-1960s, the building was a restaurant, when the Rolling Stones signed their names in lipstick on the wall of the top floor, graffiti which has been preserved. In 1977, the restaurant became Plunketts, which operated until 2015. That year, the Leeds Brewery converted it into the Eagle & Child pub, the name taken from a pub which operated on The Shambles from the 1700s until 1925. In 2017, it was taken over by Camerons Brewery, who refurbished the pub.
The building has been Grade II* listed since 1954.

York Theatre Royal
York Theatre Royal is a theatre in St Leonard's Place, in York, England, which dates back to 1744. The theatre currently seats 750 people. Whilst the theatre is traditionally a proscenium theatre, it was reconfigured for a season in 2011 to offer productions in-the-round. The theatre puts on many of its own productions, as well as hosting touring companies, one of which is Pilot Theatre, a national touring company which often co-produces its work with the theatre. Additionally the main stage and studio are regularly used by local amateur dramatic and operatic societies. York Theatre Royal was one of the co-producers of the historic York Mystery Plays 2012 which were staged in York Museum Gardens between 2–27 August. The theatre reopened on 22 April 2016 following a £6 million redevelopment, with a new roof, an extended and re-modelled front of house area, a refurbished and redecorated main auditorium and with major improvements to access and environmental impact.
