8 Stonegate - Izeria

8 Stonegate is a historic building in the city centre of York, in England. The building lies on Stonegate. It was constructed in the early 17th century, on a narrow plot, a single bay wide and two bays deep. It is three storeys tall with an attic, but in about 1830, the second and attic floors were lowered, to give more headroom in the attic. Most of the jettying was removed at this time, with just the first floor jetty retained, and new windows were installed, in a Gothic revival style. Later in the century, there was a small extension at the rear of the building, to house a new staircase. The building is timber-framed, with a stucco front and stone dressings, while the roof is covered with slates. The ground floor has a late 19th-century shopfront, with a large three-paned window and a glazed door. The first and second floors have narrow paired sash windows, while the attic has a pointed window. Inside, some timber framing is visible on the second floor, and there is a moulded ceiling beam on the first floor. The building was Grade II* listed in 1954. It is used as a shop, with accommodation above.

The Punch Bowl, York

The Punch Bowl is a pub in the city centre of York in England. The business was founded in 1675 as a coffeehouse, and it became associated with the city's Whigs, who preferred to drink punch. In 1761, it was licensed as a pub, and it became the headquarters of the York Races Committee, and was also popular with the bell ringers at York Minster. In reference to this, a bell clapper from the Minster has been used as a support in the rear bar since 1765. The building, on Stonegate, was largely rebuilt over the years, and then burned down in 1930. It was rebuilt in a Brewers' Tudor style, designed by Biscomb and Ferry for the Tadcaster Tower Brewery, with red herringbone brick at the front of the ground floor, and plasterwork above. The rear wing largely survives from the original building, as do three ground floor fireplaces. The building was grade II listed in 1954. In 2019, it was renovated, at which time, it was owned by Nicholson's.

13 Stonegate

13 Stonegate is a historic building in the city centre of York, in England. The oldest part of the building faces onto Stonegate. It was built in the early 15th century as a three-storey, three-bay building. It may have been constructed by Thomas Doncaster, who leased the site from the Archdeacon of Richmond in 1423, but was not asked to pay rent, suggesting that he was improving the site. Both the upper floors were jettied, to Stonegate and to Little Stonegate, but the top floor was cut back, probably in the 18th century, in line with the first floor. The wing facing Little Stonegate was constructed as a separate house in about 1500, originally two storeys tall, but with a third, jettied, storey added in the 17th century. In about 1600, the building facing Stonegate was extended to the rear, filling the angle between the two buildings. The internal arrangement was altered over the years, and by the 19th century, it formed three tenements, each with its own staircase. The current shopfronts on the ground floor date from about 1800. By 1954, the building had been united, when it was Grade II* listed. Since 1990, the building has housed the Original Teddy Bear Shop. The entire building is timber-framed, and externally plastered. There is a corner post, with a figurehead of a mermaid, dating to the 17th century. The roofs are covered with tiles and pantiles, and there are brick chimneystacks. Inside, there are several Georgian fittings, including a mid-18th-century staircase, a Doric portico, and a marble fireplace. The Little Stonegate range has a steep staircase of similar date.

York County Savings Bank Building

The York County Savings Bank Building is a historic building in the city centre of York, in England. The York County Savings Bank was established in 1816, and in 1829 it purchased a large timber-framed house on St Helen's Square, from R. Cattle. Watson, Pritchett and Watson designed a new headquarters building for the bank on the site, which was completed in March 1830, at a total cost of £4,691. In the early 20th century, the position of the doors was moved, and the internal ground floor layout was altered. In 1924, it was extended to the north-west, along Blake Street. In 1976, the bank became part of the Trustee Savings Bank (TSB). The ground floor was further altered in 1991. The TSB became part of Lloyds TSB, then independent again before leaving the building in 2015. In 2022, the building was converted into the Impossible Motel. The original part of the building has two storeys and is built of brick, but is faced with sandstone which was quarried near Huddersfield. It has one-and-a-half bays facing St Helen's Square, one curving around the corner, and three-and-a-half bays facing Blake Street. The extension has three storeys, but each is lower, allowing the roof level to remain the same, and continues a further three bays along Blake Street. The entrance is a double door on the curved bay, flanked by Doric columns, while the first floor has Composite columns and plain pilasters. The original doors have been converted to windows, while there is a secondary door at the far end of the extension. Atop the corner is a pediment, carved with the words "SAVINGS BANK". Inside, the former boardroom on the first floor has a coffered ceiling, with oak leaf and acorn decorations. In the extension is an early 19th-century chimney piece, which has been relocated. The building was grade II listed in 1968.
