The earliest deposit recorded was a medieval dump, dated to the mid 12th century or later. This was followed by further dumping of probably late 14th century date, and a more complex structural sequence including a well preserved circular brick oven. The top of this oven survived to a maximum height of 0.6m below the modern ground surface. The demolition of the ovens was followed by the construction of a series of brick and limestone walls. These may either be of late medieval or early post-medieval date and two of them included large blocks of re-used worked masonry. These blocks are likely to have originally been parts of a substantial medieval building.

Malton : MAP Archaeological Consultancy Ltd., 2003, 22pp, colour pls, figs, tabs Work undertaken by: MAP Archaeological Consultancy Ltd. Three broad phases of archaeological activity were identified during the excavation. The earliest phase consisted of a series of medieval dump or tipped layers interspersed with several small cobbled surfaces. In the second phase, this sequence of tip layers had been cut away to the north by a large rectangular pit of post-medieval date, filled by a deposit of building rubble containing large quantities of broken decorative plaster mouldings. The final phase consisted of modern rubble and dump deposits sealing the post-medieval pits and a large live modern drain running along the western edge of the trench.

The archaeological work followed on from an earlier watching brief in 2002 and excavations on the site in 1957-58 by Peter Wenham. The boreholes indicated that 5.0m-5.5m of stratified deposits survived at the site; the lower 1m related to the Roman period and included structural remnants. A significant depth of archaeological remains related to the medieval period, and was known to include structures as well as deposits more typical of backyard areas. Plentiful finds of mould fragments and slag attested to metalworking at the site during this period and leather offcuts also suggested the possibility of cobbling. Post-medieval and modern deposits composed the uppermost deposits at the site and again related to structures as well as pits and dumping. Anglo-Scandinavian activity was suggested by pottery assemblages and waterlogged deposits led to the preservation of organic remains.

Roman activity was represented by a wide ditch running roughly parallel with Heworth Green, as well as fragments of cremated human bone and abraded sherds of Roman pottery suggesting the existence of a ploughed out cremation cemetery in the vicinity. Medieval activity was contacted in the form of several shallow furrows crossing the site as well as a possible boundary ditch. Sealing this were a number of post-medieval agricultural or horticultural layers as well as several modern deposits associated with the construction of a 19th century villa on the site.

  • The Walls but on the Rampart Underneath and the Ditch Surrounding Them
    A walk through 1,900 years of history The Bar Walls of York are the finest and most complete of any town in England. There are five main “bars” (big gateways), one postern (a small gateway) one Victorian gateway, and 45 towers. At two miles (3.4 kilometres), they are also the longest town walls in the country. Allow two hours to walk around the entire circuit. In medieval times the defence of the city relied not just on the walls but on the rampart underneath and the ditch surrounding them. The ditch, which has been filled in almost everywhere, was once 60 feet (18.3m) wide and 10 feet (3m) deep! The Walls are generally 13 feet (4m) high and 6 feet (1.8m) wide. The rampart on which they stand is up to 30 feet high (9m) and 100 feet (30m) wide and conceals the earlier defences built by Romans, Vikings and Normans. The Roman defences The Normans In AD71 the Roman 9th Legion arrived at the strategic spot where It took William The Conqueror two years to move north after his the rivers Ouse and Foss met. They quickly set about building a victory at the Battle of Hastings in 1066.

To find the history summaries and illustrative materials for the York Castle Project which Helen Weinstein and the team at Historyworks have provided to share knowledge to support those wanting more information about the York Castle Area, please find many pages of chronological summaries about the site and descriptions of the interpretations offered by the stakeholders here: http://historyworks.tv/projects/ Professor Helen Weinstein, Organizer of Learning Events about the York Castle Area to mark HMD The afternoon of presentations was opened by Helen Weinstein, public historian and Director of Historyworks. Helen began by welcoming the large number of people that had returned from a walking tour of the castle area with an introduction to what the proceeding talks would offer. The event had been created as a result of a growing interest from the citizens of York and the wider Jewish communities outside of the city in Clifford’s Tower and its cultural and historical significance.Helen then spoke about some of the misconceptions about Jewish life in York, in 1 2 particular the belief that a Cherem had been placed on York following the 1190 massacre, forbidding people of Jewish faith to live within the city, particularly not to overnight or eat within the precincts of the City Walls.

  • Air Quality – Annual Status Report
    24 September 2020 Decision Session – Executive Member for Environment and Climate Change Report of the Corporate Director, Economy and Place Air Quality – Annual Status Report Executive Summary 1. The report details the latest air quality monitoring results for the city and progress on delivering the measures in York’s third Air Quality Action Plan (AQAP3) to deliver further improvements. 2. Recent air quality monitoring can be summarised as follows: There has been a general downward trend in Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2) concentrations monitored across the city since 2012, although year on year improvements in NO2 have been much less pronounced over the last 2-3 years and in some areas appear to have plateaued. This clearly demonstrates the need to continue to deliver the air quality improvement measures in AQAP3. The health based annual average nitrogen dioxide (NO2) objective is still being breached at some locations in the city, including Gillygate, Holgate / Blossom Street and Rougier Street / George Hudson Street. Elevated levels of NO2, below the objective, were monitored along Nunnery Lane, Lawrence Street, Fishergate and Coppergate. NO2 concentrations in the former Salisbury Terrace and Fulford Road AQMAs are still well within health based limits. National air quality objectives for PM10 and PM2.5 are currently easily met in York. There does not appear to be any clear trend in PM10 concentrations based on monitoring over the last 8 years. The general downward trend in PM10 concentrations observed at roadside monitoring sites up to 2017 has not continued through 2018 and 2019. Concentrations of PM2.5 have generally decreased at roadside locations in recent years, although PM2.5 monitored at York’s background monitoring station have been more variable.

  • 2017 City of York Biodiversity Action Plan
    CITY OF YORK Local Biodiversity Action Plan 2017 City of York Local Biodiversity Action Plan - Executive Summary What is biodiversity and why is it important? Biodiversity is the variety of all species of plant and animal life on earth, and the places in which they live. Biodiversity has its own intrinsic value but is also provides us with a wide range of essential goods and services such as such as food, fresh water and clean air, natural flood and climate regulation and pollination of crops, but also less obvious services such as benefits to our health and wellbeing and providing a sense of place. We are experiencing global declines in biodiversity, and the goods and services which it provides are consistently undervalued. Efforts to protect and enhance biodiversity need to be significantly increased. The Biodiversity of the City of York The City of York area is a special place not only for its history, buildings and archaeology but also for its wildlife. York Minister is an 800 year old jewel in the historical crown of the city, but we also have our natural gems as well. York supports species and habitats which are of national, regional and local conservation importance including the endangered Tansy Beetle which until 2014 was known only to occur along stretches of the River Ouse around York and Selby; ancient flood meadows of which c.9-10% of the national resource occurs in York; populations of Otters and Water Voles on the River Ouse, River Foss and their tributaries; the country’s most northerly example of extensive lowland heath at Strensall Common; and internationally important populations of wetland birds in the Lower Derwent Valley.

  • St. Leonards Place/Bootham/Gillygate
    Decision Session - Cabinet Member for 19 November 2012 Transport, Planning and Sustainability Report of the Director of City and Environmental Services ST LEONARD’S PLACE / BOOTHAM / GILLYGATE JUNCTION – LOCAL SAFETY SCHEME – SIGNING & MARKING IMPROVEMENTS Summary 1. The St Leonard’s Place / Bootham / Gillygate junction has been identified as an accident cluster site. The area is likely to benefit from a major project as part of Reinvigorate York in the next couple of years. However, in the interim, a minor scheme has been developed to help address the types of accidents that are occurring, by improving the signs and road markings. Recommendations 2. That the Cabinet Member approve the implementation of the signing and road marking improvements shown in Annex B . Reason: To improve road safety, and reduce the number and severity of collisions. Background 3. Every year, the latest police injury accident data for the Council area is analysed to identify any clusters or patterns, with a view to introducing measures to improve road safety at these locations. The junction of St Leonard’s Place with Bootham and Gillygate has been identified as an accident cluster site with nine injury accidents recorded in the last three years. 4. Most of the recent accidents occurred on the St Leonard’s Place approach to the traffic signals. Although there is little similarity between the accidents, it does appear that poor lane discipline may be a contributory factor. There has also been a shunt type accident involving a cyclist at the signals on Bootham, and site observations suggest that at peak times the advance stop line box is not large enough to accommodate the number of cyclists.

  • Creating the Slum: Representations of Poverty in the Hungate and Walmgate Districts of York, 1875-1914
    Laura Harrison Ex Historia 61 Laura Harrison1 University of Leeds Creating the slum: representations of poverty in the Hungate and Walmgate districts of York, 1875-1914 In his first social survey of York, B. Seebohm Rowntree described the Walmgate and Hungate areas as ‘the largest poor district in the city’ comprising ‘some typical slum areas’.2 The York Medical Officer of Health condemned the small and fetid yards and alleyways that branched off the main Walmgate thoroughfare in his 1914 report, noting that ‘there are no amenities; it is an absolute slum’.3 Newspapers regularly denounced the behaviour of the area’s residents; reporting on notorious individuals and particular neighbourhoods, and in an 1892 report to the Watch Committee the Chief Constable put the case for more police officers on the account of Walmgate becoming increasingly ‘difficult to manage’.4 James Cave recalled when he was a child the police would only enter Hungate ‘in twos and threes’.5 The Hungate and Walmgate districts were the focus of social surveys and reports, they featured in complaints by sanitary inspectors and the police, and residents were prominent in court and newspaper reports. The area was repeatedly characterised as a slum, and its inhabitants as existing on the edge of acceptable living conditions and behaviour. Condemned as sanitary abominations, observers made explicit connections between the physical condition of these spaces and the moral behaviour of their 1 Laura ([email protected]) is a doctoral candidate at the University of Leeds, and recently submitted her thesis ‘Negotiating the meanings of space: leisure, courtship and the young working class of York, c.1880-1920’.
