The Salsa Bistro, 1 Castlegate, Penrith. I kind of like these old(ish) & to me very north country buildings. They look so wonderfully dour under heavy cloud. I know nothing about the bistro, but I'm sure it's very good.
Fairfax House, Castlegate, York, 1755-62.
By John Carr of York (1723-1807).
For Viscount Fairfax of Emley.
Grade l listed.
Portrait of an Unknown Gentleman.

Fairfax House is a triumph of Georgian design. Bought by Charles Gregory, 9th Viscount Fairfax of Emley, for £2000 in 1759, he employed master architect John Carr of York to transform the existing building into a magnificent and fashionable townhouse. Lord Fairfax gifted the house to his sole surviving child making Anne Fairfax a property-owning woman in her own right.
Here both Anne and her Father spent the winter season. Standing on the thriving street of Castlegate, the main thoroughfare to York Castle, and sitting on the confluence of the rivers Ouse and Foss, Fairfax House was at the very centre of York’s polite society and perfectly positioned as a base from which to enjoy York’s burgeoning city-life and social scene.
