Full Description

Between 1920 and 1946, the house next to The Cross Keys car park in St Helen's Road was the clubhouse for the 15-hole golf course on nearby Hob Moor. The former pavilion of the Kavesmire Club was used as a ‘clubhouse’ when it was taken over by the York Railway Institute Golf Club. The Knavesmire Club, later moved to Strensall, however, the railway workers who used to play at Hob Moor moved to Pike Hills Golf Club. It has since been turned into a residential property retaining its original veranda and long room at the front of the building. It has communal value, being the last remainder of golf being played in Knavesmire.
