Ancient and Modern


This is a view of St Andrewgate. It is a typical York scene with bollards across the street to prevent cars entering the city centre, and a mixture of old and new buildings. Here they range from the white 14th century stone of  St Andrews church, through to the modern brick development of St Andrew Place. Many new houses were built here in the 1990s with the aim of bringing people back to live in the city centre. To buy a 3 bedroom townhouse here would cost around £375,000. In the 13-14th century before St Andrews church was built this street was known as Ketmongergate meaning street of the meat or flesh sellers.
