Colliergate, York

Colliergate is a street in the city centre of York, in England.

 

The area occupied by the street lay outside the Roman city walls, but fell within the Canabae of Eboracum, a residential and industrial area.[1] It is believed that, during the Viking, Jorvik, period, the street formed the eastern side of a lengthy open area. The name of the street first appeared in 1303, arising from the charcoal merchants in the area. A statue of Ebraucus, the legendary founder of the city, stood where the street meets St Saviourgate; this may have been a reused Roman statue
