Lendal Cellars

Between the Guildhall archway (see below) and the Post Office is the entrance to Lendal Cellars, a real ale pub in the heart of York. It gets this review from a US citizen in Dallas: good fish and chips … the dungeon-like underground atmosphere is cool and strangely comforting - a great place for pub lunch or quick drink with friends - one of my favorite pubs in York.

Judges Lodgings 2

Another angle on the Judges Lodgings Hotel entrance on Lendal shown a few days ago.

Lift up your heads - and voices

A deliberately full-on view of the upper storeys of Banks music shop on Lendal. The building dates from 1897; unfortunately the light was poor so the decoration on the parapet and pediment are rather blurred in enlargement. Part of the Music room group, which explains the rather loud shop sign, Banks also specialises in choral sheet music. 

Judges Lodgings 1

This is the impressive entrance to The Judges Lodgings Hotel, a Grade 1 listed Georgian town house on Lendal, featuring function rooms and a cellar bar. There should be an apostrophe in the name, but this is how it appears on the website. Apologies for the persistent perpendicularity problems.

Harkers on St Helen's

More neo-classical stonework on St Helen's Square. The red brick building is the central Post Office on Lendal.

Museum Gardens lodge

Directly opposite Lendal, the Museum Street lodge by the gate to the gardens is not to be confused with the much older gatehouse on the Marygate entrance.
