Stonegate
A pedestrian street leading from the Minster into the city centre, lined with Tudor timber-framed houses, Georgian shopfronts and old pubs, and following the course of a Roman road.
Stonegate follows the Via Praetoria, the main street of the Roman legionary fortress, and takes its name from a medieval route used to carry stone for building the Minster. Its sides are lined with 15th- to 18th-century buildings and old-fashioned signs, and it is home to Ye Olde Starre Inne, one of York's oldest pubs. The overhead sign beams spanning the street are distinctive. The red devil statue at No. 33 is the emblem of the printing trade. It can be explored on foot together with the Shambles and the Bar Walls, and it is free to visit.
