South side of Micklegate, York
On the south side of Micklegate, between the churchyard of Holy Trinity and Priory Street, there is an interesting collection of historic buildings. Number 83 is a small brick house probably built in the second quarter of the 18th century, alongside the gateway to the church. It is built against the three storey timber framed building housing numbers 85-89. This building was erected by Holy Trinity Priory as three tenements under one roof, probably for rental income, in the late 15th or early 16th century. All three tenements were used by butchers in the 18th century, at least one remaining in this use well into the 19th century. Both these buildings are now owned by York Conservation Trust. Next door are numbers 91 and 93, formerly a single house which was home to several merchant tailors in the mid 18th century. The tall gabled building, 95 Micklegate, is a 16th century timber framed structure. It was originally jettied on the first floor but the overhang was underbuilt with a shop front in the late 19th or early 20th century. The building was extended to the rear in the 17th century. For many years it has been a Post Office. On the corner of Priory Street is a 20th century building. Beyond that is the gable of The Priory public house. On the extreme right is the rear of Micklegate Bar.
