Hungate


The street name Hungate was probably Hundgate (street where dogs were kept) in Viking times. Located close to the river this area became notorious for cheap housing and was described as a slum by Seebohm Rowntree at the beginning of the 20th century. Now covered in apartments it is considered a desirable location.
