Fairfax House is a Georgian townhouse located in Castlegate, York. It was probably built in the early 1740s for a local merchant and in 1759 it was purchased by Charles Gregory Fairfax, 9th Viscount Fairfax of Emley, who arranged for the interior to be remodelled by John Carr.
After the Viscount's death in 1772, the house was sold and subsequently passed through a number of local families before spending some time as a Gentleman's Club, a Building Society and a cinema. The property was bought by York Civic Trust in the 1980s and completely restored to its former grandeur. It is now a museum open to the public and a Grade I listed building.
On the death in 1980 of Noel Terry (of the Terry's chocolate business), his collection of Georgian furniture and clocks was donated to York Civic Trust and subsequently housed in the period rooms of Fairfax House. The collection has since been expanded by acquisition and donation, including in summer 2017 a re-discovered wooden panel carved by Grinling Gibbons while learning his trade in York. The house has a large collection of Georgian glass and is unique in that 99% of the furniture is English made making it one of the finest collections of English Georgian furniture in Europe.

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.
A westbound coal train starts up Price River Canyon at Castle Gate on the climb to Soldier Summit. DRG&W 3116,5317,3098 and 3107 lead the way on June 8, 1990, and yes helpers were on the rear.
This is one of my favourite places in Aberdeen it is so steeped in history. It is hard to believe that the old trams used to come in here and round and up Union Street or King Street. You can see a modern bus just disappearing along King Street and there were not many people around. The grey granite tells you this is Aberdeen.
The former Corn Exchange on Castlegate, Newark has been described one of the most neglected buildings of historic heritage in the United Kingdom!
It was built in 1847 and open for the public shortly afterwards in 1848 providing a venue for trade of the local farmers, millers and maltsters. It had a 1500 seat hall and was also used for lectures, exhibitions and musical entertainments. In the early 20thC, it was used as well as an early cinema but this venture was short lived.
It continued to be used by local produce merchants and the like every Wednesday until 1978 when it became empty and for a while becoming a bingo hall and later a nightclub! It is now vacant and needing new owners who must realise that as a grade II listed(protected) building much work needs to be done and it can’t just be knocked down!

Castle Gate Cemetery for Castle Gate Ghost town infamous for the horrific mine disaster of 1924.
The Castle Gate mine disaster occurred on March 8, 1924, in a coal mine near the town of Castle Gate, Utah (now dismantled), All of the 171 men working in the mine were killed in the series of three violent explosions. One worker, the leader of the rescue crew, died from carbon monoxide inhalation while attempting to reach the victims shortly after the explosion.
To add to the tragedy, two weeks prior to the explosion, the Utah Fuel Company had laid off many of the unmarried miners and miners without dependents during a period of reduced orders for coal. As a result, 114 of the men who were killed in the disaster were married men, leaving behind 415 widows and fatherless children.

A view down Main St., Cockermouth from Castlegate shows a Gardner powered Bristol LD of Cumberland Motor Services on its way to Keswick via Braithwaite on service 34.
The trip would have originated at Whitehaven and arrived at this point by way of Workington.
The vehicle itself, ORM141, was new to CMS in March 1955 as No.359. It was one of a batch of 5 (ORM140-4) allocated to country services and its 60 seat ECW body was fitted with platform doors.
In November 1961 it was renumbered to C406 and this picture post-dates that change.
Prior to the building of the A66, using the majority of the track-bed of the former Cockermouth, Keswick & Penrith Railway, this section of road would have been the main through route for all traffic between the Lakes & West Cumbria.
Although not serving Whitehaven the current X5 Limited-Stop service shadows the majority of the now defunct 34 route.
Bar the LD and the van exiting Market Place precious little has changed from this scene today.
Amusing wall art/mural seen on the wall inside Castlegate Fish & Chips Shop, Castlegate, Newark. I didn’t expect to see this lovely sample of art to accompany my purchase of their wares!
Aberdeen 320 (VRS 320) a 1964 Daimler CVG6 / Alexander H37/29R and 270 (LRG 270) a 1958 Daimler CVG6 / Metro-Cammell H37/29R, seen laying over at the Castlegate, Aberdeen on 29 September 1968.
320 was one of a batch of eight such buses delivered in 1964, 317 – 324 (VRS 317 etc). It was rebuilt to forward entrance layout re-entering service by March 1971. Six others of the batch were similarly converted between June 1968 and May 1972, leaving 317 as the only one of the batch with a rear entrance. 320 was withdrawn in 1981 and sold for scrap.
270 was a one-off delivered in 1958. It was the first Aberdeen bus to feature the attractive Manchester style glass fibre front end. It had chassis number 19517. Interestingly, Dundee's HTS 271 - 280 followed on (but not in chassis number order - as you would expect for Dundee) and their 272 was chassis number 19518. Maybe the fact that 270 and Dundee's 271 - 280 were built at the same time is the reason why some folk suggested that Aberdeen's bus was a cancelled Dundee order. That was not the case.
The Transport Committee meeting minutes of October 1957 include the following item - "Upon a report by the General Manager, the committee resolved to recommend that he be authorised to purchase from the Transport Vehicles (Daimler) Company Limited, Coventry, a Daimler/Gardner chassis of the monocontrol type at a total cost of £2,613, and to have constructed on such chassis a lightweight bus body by the Metropolitan-Cammell Carriage & Wagon Company Limited, Birmingham at a cost of £2,470". Note the erroneous use of "monocontrol" (AEC’s description of it’s transmission, which featured from bus 250 (KRS 250) and all subsequent AEC Regent Vs),. instead of "Diamatic".
270 was involved in a very serious accident with a fire engine on Midstocket Road on 27 September 1959, repairs taking many months to complete. Upon its return to service 270 seemed to sit high on the front axle and the lower front panel below the windscreen was obviously non-standard.
In this view the fleet number of 270 is almost illegible. It was of the smaller gold style introduced in early 1968. These were described as "difficult to see in the dark" during a meeting on 8 December 1968 between (inspector) staff and ACT management. It was probably soon after that they were over-painted cream or green (depending upon if they were on a green or cream background) prior to obtaining a supply of new cream and green transfers.
Withdrawn from service in 1972, 270 became a driver tuition vehicle because it was found to have a cracked offside longitudinal chassis frame (possibly a legacy from the accident with the fire engine, which might have created a stress fracture in later years). It would have been a costly repair for a bus getting on in life so it became a driver tuition bus number 92. It was finally withdrawn around late 1980 passing to a scrap dealer in June 1981.
