Full Description

(446) Range of houses, on S.W. side of street, of brick with a slate-covered roof, is of two storeys and was built in 1841; it incorporated a new Police Station which remained in the building until 1892 when new premises were erected in Clifford Street (VCH, York, 466). The elevation is nine bays long, divided by pilasters with simple capitals, but has been much altered, although a few original sash windows remain on the first floor. The short front to Jubbergate has a pediment enclosing a bull's-eye, and two windows below flanked by pilasters. The interior has been converted into shops.
