The Three Tuns
The Three Tuns is a pub on Coppergate, in the city centre of York, in England.
The building was probably constructed in the 16th century and is timber-framed, with the first floor jettied. It was heavily altered in the 19th century, since when it has been a two-storey building with an attic, and the windows date from this period. At the north-east end, there is a lean-to bay, and there is a large 20th-century extension to the rear. The rear extension includes an eight-foot stone wall, which may be Mediaeval.
The building is recorded as having been a pub from at least 1782. It was owned by Maltby & Wilberforce from 1861 and specialised in selling wines and spirits. It later became owned by the Courage Brewery and was sold to the Mansfield Brewery in 1991. In 1970, a cache of silver coins was discovered, and a cache of gold coins was also discovered during renovations on the customer service area.
The building was Grade II listed in 1954.

26 Coppergate
26 Coppergate is a historic building in the city centre of York, in England.
The front part of the building dates from the late 15th century, and is a timber-framed structure, three storeys tall and two bays wide. The rear part of the building is built of brick, and was added in the 17th century. The building was altered in the 18th century, and altered and extended in the 19th century. Around the middle of that century, it became the Market Tavern pub.
In 1954, the building was Grade II* listed. The pub closed in the second half of the 20th century, following which, the building was renovated. From 1986, it operated as the restaurant Russell's of Coppergate. In 2021, it became an Italian restaurant, Vitoria.
Both storeys at the front of the building are jettied. The rear part of the building is slightly longer than the front part, and it includes a cellar. In the cellar is the bottom part of a historic spiral staircase. Several early fireplaces also survive in the building.

28–32 Coppergate
28–32 Coppergate is a historic building in the city centre of York, in England.
The rear part of the timber-framed building originated as a five-bay hall house, built in the 15th century. It may be the building recorded as having been built by William Alne, Member of Parliament for York, in about 1420. However, the City of York Council note that, due to its size and unusual layout, it may have been constructed as an inn.
The ground floor of the house was open, probably for use as a shop, while on the first floor the two south-eastern bays formed a single hall, open to the roof, while the third bay had a third storey. The fourth and fifth bays were later demolished, and their form is not known. In front of the hall house, facing on to Coppergate, is a row of three three-storey tenements. These also date from the 15th century, and have shops on the ground floor and accommodation above. Each floor was jettied. The first floor of No. 32 extends out to the line of its second floor; this may be a later change, but the City of York Council argues that it acted as a porch, and would have been in the centre of the facade of the original building.
In the 17th century, a floor was inserted into the hall, to make this part of the building three-storeyed, and fireplaces were also added. The building was further altered in about 1800. Originally, each shop had its own entrance, and there were pointed shop windows, but the current shopfronts date from the 19th century. No. 28 was restored in 1988, and then No. 30 was restored in 1994.
On the first floor are a couple of fragments of 17th-century painted wall plaster. Some decorative plasterwork and fireplaces of this date also survive.
The building was Grade II* listed in 1954, with a note that it was an "apparently rare building type of which few other examples were known nationally", although 41–45 Goodramgate represents a more complete example in the same city. It is currently divided into two shops, one of which is the haberdashery Duttons for Buttons.
