Category - Streets of York
The streets of York are home to countless years of history and heritage. Many of the street names originate from Viking times, usually easily identifiable as they end in ‘gate’, such as Swinegate (street for the pigs) an Whip-ma-whop-ma-gate (we think they named that one just for fun.) As you walk along and explore the maze of streets you’ll find cosy cafés and bistros, independent shops and boutiques, pubs, bars and restaurants as well as the odd historic building here and there.
