56, 58 and 60 Low Petergate, York
56-60 Low Petergate were built in c1500 as five bays of tenement houses with three storeys, the upper ones jettied on the street front. By 1630 they had been made into 3 houses with inserted chimneys and attics. In the early 19th century number 56, on the left, had been rebuilt with a brick front wall. Just beyond them are the wings and porch added to a house of 1725 which is set back from the street. This became the York College for Girls but is now a restaurant. The shop on the right, on the corner of Grape Lane, was built in the late 18th century and acquired a fine shop front in the late 19th century when the lane was widened.
