York Assizes from Clifford's Tower
York Assize Courts were built between 1773 and 1777. Designed by John Carr of York, the original building was eleven bays long, with a single bay pavillion at each end. This was extended by a bay at each end in 1818. A further extension, containing more office space, was added in 1821-3. The building sits alongside the Debtors' Prison, on the left, built in 1704-5. On the right is the memorial to 137 soldiers of the Yorkshire Regiment that died during the Boer War of 1899-1902, unveiled in 1904. Beyond the courts building, which is still used as the Crown Court, are the suburbs of Fishergate and Fulford.
