Low Petergate, York
Low Petergate, York

The long street of Petergate roughly follows the line of the principal road through the Roman fortress of Eboracum. Low Petergate is the section that runs from Stonegate to King's Square. The view along it from the south east has York Minster as a backdrop. Over time practically all the buildings along its length have become shops, many in recent times becoming restaurants and cafes. Among the eclectic mix of buildings of many dates there are numerous medieval builidngs. These include number 67, a three-storey jettied building on the left. This probably dates from the late 1300s, a similar date to the completion if the nave of the Minster. On the opposite side of the street another timber framed building dates from ar
ound 1500. 58-60 Low Petergate was built as a row of five tenements by Alderman John Stockdale. They were converted into three houses in the 19th century. The building facing down the street on the slight bend is 48-50 Low Petergate. This block of houses, over a shop and an office, designed by the architect JP Pritchett, was built in 1837-38 by the Dean and Chapter of York. The nearer building, number 50, extends back from the street and is joined to 8 Minster Yard. In the mid 19th century York was undergoing major modernisation, some of it led by the church authorities.
