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.

8 Stonegate
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.

Mulberry Hall
Mulberry Hall is a Grade II* listed building on Stonegate, in the city centre of York, in England.
Stonegate has been an important street for many centuries, and a Mulberry Hall existed on the site by 1372, housing the prebend of North Newbald. In the mid-15th century, the house was demolished and a new one built. Some modern sources give the date of rebuilding as 1434, and this date is now painted onto the building. The new structure was a two-storey timber-framed building, running from the corner of Stonegate and Little Stonegate, and stretching along Stonegate to cover three building plots.
In about 1574, a third storey was added to the building. The whole structure was widened to the rear, by a few feet, and a new two-storey wing added to the rear of this, with a large kitchen on the ground floor. In the 18th century, the part of the building next to Little Stonegate was rebuilt, and has since been a separate structure, 15 Stonegate. The remainder was divided into two tenements with shops below.
In the 1950s, the whole remaining part of the house was converted into a single large shop, a china and glass retailer also named Mulberry Hall. This closed in 2016, since when it has been occupied by the first UK branch of Käthe Wohlfahrt, a year-round Christmas shop.
Although the building has been heavily altered over the years, it retains a jettied front with exposed timber-framing, and original 16th and 17th-century windows on the upper floors. One window frame was formerly inscribed with the date "1574", although this is no longer visible. To the rear, part of the structure is timber-framed and jettied, although the north-east bay was rebuilt in brick in about 1700. The first floor has extensive 17th-century wood panelling, and there is also a staircase dating from about 1700. The building is owned by the Sinclair family, a well known York family.
