CASTLEGATE GETS GREY TO GREEN TRANSFORMATION
The scheme links Castlegate to the under-visited ‘hidden jewel’ of Victoria Quays and has transformed the almost redundant former inner ring road from a barrier to a green corridor with sustainable drainage, floral meadows, segregated cycle lanes and public art.
Castlegate (the Street) has been closed to vehicles to create a large riverside terrace with potential to accommodate outdoor seating for existing and future cafes and bars including the former public toilet due to open as the Two Rivers Bar and the Tap and Barrel, now under new management by the Peddlers Market team. The street will also hold the newly established Sheffield Pollen Market, the first fresh flower market in Sheffield, which will take place every third Sunday of the month.
Fifty-seven new trees have been planted as part of the scheme, along with a multitude of low maintenance perennial meadow plants and bulbs which will provide a year long succession of colour and natural habitat for insects, birds and mammals.
The scheme includes four distinctive, specially designed ‘totems’ containing ‘bug hotels’ which provide places for bees and other insects to thrive, along with nature and heritage insights.
St Mary Castlegate is one of the largest of York's many medieval churches and is situated in the south of the old city centre. It ceased to be used for worship several decades ago and for a while was used as the city's heritage centre. Now the interior has been opened up again and used as exhibition space for contemporary art.
The building is mostly of 14th & 15th century construction and is marked by a tapering spire rising from a slender octagonal tower (a feature of a few York city churches). The interior is devoid of its old furnishings, all removed prior to its conversion to secular use, but some fragments of medieval glass survive, reset into a window at the east end of the south aisle.
I am not sure what the current opening times of the church are, but it is safe to assume it will be open as long as there is work exhibited inside. This is an imaginative and sensitive re-use of a redundant parish church and allows visitors to enjoy both the exhibits and the entirety of the building's interior, much more than its previous incarnation did.
11a Union Road the now former Castle Gate Indian Restaurant in Lincoln, Lincolnshire.

Looking north from the top of Clifford's Tower, in York, Towards the Minster and the steeple of St Mary Castlegate.
Clifford's Tower was the central stronghold of the medieval York Castle, in the historical northern English city.
The castle was built by William the Conqueror after the Norman conquest of Britain, with building work begun in 1069AD, to secure his hold on the north of England.
The original wooden structure was burnt to the ground in 1190AD after the city’s Jews took refuge inside the tower to escape a baying mob – it didn’t work and they committed mass suicide.
King Henry III rebuilt the castle between 1245 and 1272 and Clifford’s Tower is now all that remains, aside from some stretches of walls to the south. The tower was the original keep of the castle and comprised two floors of private rooms and a chapel.
The tower stands on top of a large earth mound and is now looked after by English heritage. From the ramparts there are views out over the modern city of York, including the Minster, the River Ouse and the city’s many churches and historical buildings.
York St Mary’s is a medieval church dating back to the 11th century and now a cultural arts centre in the heart of the old city.
Most of the church which is now standing dates from the 13th to 15th centuries, with a little of the original Saxon stonework to be found within the body of the church.
The church has the tallest steeple in York, standing 47 metres high and was deconsecrated between 1958 and 1975. In 2001 it was made a heritage centre.
York Minster dominates the skyline of the city of York and is the centre of religious worship for mile around.
Britain’s largest Gothic building, construction was begun under the Normans by Thomas of Bayeux in 1080AD, though the oldest structure still in existence dates from 1220AD.
Construction took place until the end of the 15th century, when a new central tower was built to replace the 13th century version, which had collapsed and needed to be rebuilt. The tower is built in the perpendicular style, as is the quire, which dates to 100 years earlier.
The Minster is home to a spectacular collection of stained-glass windows, while beneath the modern cathedral, it is possible to take a tour of the crypts and see the foundations for the churches and buildings which have stood on the site for thousands of years.
It is also possible to climb to the top of the tower, up 275 steps, for views of the surrounding city and countryside and the top of the Minster itself.

The Grade I Listed Castlegate House, Castlegate, York, North Yorkshire.
Castlegate House was designed by John Carr and was completed in 1763, named after the street on which it is on. The building was built for the Recorder of York, who at the time was Peter Johnson. An extension was added to the side of the building in 1920 for the benefit of the Masonic Lodge, who still operate the building today.
