Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2K7NBK1 - The Cathedral and Metropolitical Church of Saint Peter in York, commonly known as York Minster, is the cathedral of York, North Yorkshire, England, and is one of the largest of its kind in Northern Europe. The minster is the seat of the Archbishop of York, the third-highest office of the Church of England (after the monarch as Supreme Governor and the Archbishop of Canterbury), and is the mother church for the Diocese of York and the Province of York. It is run by a dean and chapter, under the Dean of York. The title minster is attributed to churches established in the Anglo-Saxon period as missionary teaching churches, and serves now as an honorific title
the word Metropolitical in the formal name refers to the Archbishop of York's role as the Metropolitan bishop of the Province of York. Services in the minster are sometimes regarded as on the High Church or Anglo-Catholic end of the Anglican continuum.
The minster was completed in 1472 after several centuries of building. It is devoted to Saint Peter, and has a very wide Decorated Gothic nave and chapter house, a Perpendicular Gothic quire and east end and Early English North and South transepts. The nave contains the West Window, constructed in 1338, and over the Lady Chapel in the east end is the Great East Window (finished in 1408), the largest expanse of medieval stained glass in the world. In the north transept is the Five Sisters window, each lancet being over 53 feet (16.3 m) high. The south transept contains a rose window, while the West Window contains a heart-shaped design colloquially known as The Heart of Yorkshire.
On 9 July 1984, York Minster suffered a serious fire in its south transept during the early morning hours. Firefighters made a decision to deliberately collapse the roof of the South Transept by pouring tens of thousands of gallons of water onto it, in order to save the rest of the building from destruction

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2KF6PBC - Holy Trinity Micklegate is a parish church of the Church of England, located on the west bank of the River Ouse inside the ancient walled city of York. The church building is a complex structure incorporating parts of the fabric of a medieval priory church dedicated to Holy Trinity and possibly an adjunct medieval parish church dedicated to St Nicholas (although this is disputed).
Holy Trinity was founded prior to the Norman invasion of 1066, and is listed in the Domesday Book of 1086 as one of five great northern churches (alongside, amongst others, York Minster).
In around 1089 this church was re-founded by its new Norman lord as a Benedictine priory, served by a community of monks. It may be at that date a 'double church' was constructed, with one half (Holy Trinity) providing a place of worship for the monastic community and a second (dedicated to St Nicholas) providing religious services to the lay community of the parish.
Holy Trinity Today
Its parish today includes the former parishes of two neighbouring churches, St John and St Martin in Micklegate, which are now redundant as places of worship and have been put to other uses. All four of these churches originated in the Middle Ages, and their buildings are all listed monuments. They share a rich and long history extending back nearly two millennia.
Indeed what we see in the landscape of surviving church buildings in Micklegate is only part of a formerly more extensive religious topography in this neighbourhood of York. All Saints North Street and St Mary Bishophill Junior survive as active churches with independent parishes. The churches of St Gregory in Micklegate, St Clement in Clementhorpe and two suburban chapels of St James and St Mary, together with suburban hospitals dedicated to St Katherine and St Thomas all disappeared shortly after the Reformation, while the redundant church of St Mary Bishophill Senior was demolished in the 1960s.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2KF7FA5 - The York Medical Society was founded in 1832, two years before the establishment of York Medical School. The first president, Baldwin Wake, addressed the Society at its first meeting in March 1832.
At the time, they had no permanent premises and met first at the York dispensary, then between October 1856 and May 1874 at Mr Graham's house in Market Town, followed by three years in the Board Room at York County Hospital after Mr Graham's death and then for a brief period between 1877 and 1878 at 9 Ousegate. For the next two years the York Medical Society met at the de Grey Rooms and then until 1915, they rented rooms at 1 Low Ousegate, when they moved to the current location of 23 Stonegate, the previous home of Tempest Anderson and his father W.C. Anderson.
It developed consulting rooms and a dispensary.
In 2003, the library and archive were moved to the Borthwick Institute.
Premises
23 Stonegate is a late 16th-Century house, which incorporates the remains of several earlier structures on the site, and which has been altered and extended at various times in the centuries following its construction. Its 1590 rainwater head is the oldest surviving in York. The building is currently divided into a number of offices and flats as well as serving as the base for the society. It has had associations with the medical profession since at least the early 19th-Century, when it was owned by the Anderson family, and in the later part of the century it was home to the surgeon and vulcanologist Tempest Anderson, whose plaque is still present on the entrance to the building. It was purchased by the York Medical Society in 1944
the dining room, which features a Greek fret and paterae underneath an elaborate cornice, now serves as the society's lecture hall. The building was first listed in 1954, and was upgraded to Grade II* in 1997

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2KF7FB4 - Ye Olde Starre Inne is a pub in the city centre of York, in England. The main block of the pub is a timber-framed structure, constructed in the mid-16th century, and a wing to its left was added in about 1600. By 1644, it was an inn named The Starre, the buildings lying at the back of a coaching yard, off the north side of Stonegate. This makes it the pub in York which can demonstrate the earliest date for its licence. After the Battle of Marston Moor the inn was used as a hospital for wounded soldiers.
Pub sign across Stonegate
In 1662, the pub was sold for £250, and in 1683, Edward Thompson inherited it. In 1733, the pub's landlord was Thomas Bulman, and he signed an agreement with the owners of two shops on Stonegate that he could attach a sign to their premises, to hang across the street. A sign advertising the pub has hung across the street ever since.
The pub was extended in the early-18th century. In the 1840s, with the coming of the railway, the coaching yard was infilled with a new building, and the pub is now approached via a passageway underneath part of this building. Stables lay behind the pub and could be accessed from Duncombe Place, making the pub a popular location for visiting actors and circus performers.
In the late-19th century, the pub was again extended, at which time, it was known as Boddy's Inn. Surviving internal features include an early-18th century staircase, some 17th-century panelling, and an assortment of benches, glass and panelling from the 19th-century refit. Its former bar screen, of stained glass, probably dates from the 1890s and is believed to have been designed by J. W. Knowles & Co. who were based at 35 Stonegate.
In 1954, the pub was grade II listed

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2KF7FCB - Bronze statue of Constantine the Great sits prominently in Minster Yard beside York Minster in the historic centre of York, North Yorkshire. Photographed in bright sunshine beneath a clear blue sky, the monumental seated figure wears Roman military clothing and imperial robes. His right arm extends outward while his left hand grips a long sword. Lion-head details decorate the throne, and the green patina of the bronze contrasts strongly with the blue sky, surrounding trees and red building behind the monument. The inscription across the plinth reads CONSTANTINE, BY THIS SIGN CONQUER .
Constantine was proclaimed emperor by his troops at Eboracum, the Roman name for York, in AD 306 following the death of his father, Constantius Chlorus. He went on to rule from 306 until 337 and became one of the most influential emperors in Roman history. His reign is closely associated with the transformation of the Roman Empire, the rise of Christianity and the foundation of Constantinople. The wording on the plinth refers to the tradition expressed by the Latin phrase in hoc signo vinces , meaning in this sign, conquer .
The statue was commissioned by York Civic Trust to commemorate Constantine's accession in York. Sculptor Philip Jackson created the life-size-and-a-third bronze work, which was unveiled in 1998 by former Archbishop of York and Canterbury Lord Coggan. Its position near the south transept of York Minster connects the modern public artwork with the city's Roman past and later Christian heritage.
The image is useful for editorial subjects including Roman Britain, Constantine the Great, ancient history, Christianity, public sculpture, civic commemoration, York tourism, Yorkshire landmarks and cultural heritage. The strong low viewpoint emphasises the authority of the seated emperor, while the sword, throne, inscription and architectural setting provide clear visual details for travel, history and education features.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2KF7FCF - The Statue of Constantine the Great is a bronze statue depicting the Roman Emperor Constantine I seated on a throne, commissioned by York Civic Trust and designed by the sculptor Philip Jackson. It was unveiled in 1998 and is situated on Minster Yard, outside York Minster. It commemorates the accession of Constantine as Roman Emperor in AD 306 on this site, after the death of his father Constantius Chlorus in York
The statue depicts a seated Constantine wearing military dress. His right arm is outstretched behind him and his left holds the pommel of a sword, the tip of which is shown to be broken. A legend inscribed on the base reads Constantine by this sign conquer. This phrase is a translation of the latin in hoc signo vinces
a reference to a passage from the historian Eusebius of Caesaria, who recounts how Constantine was marching with his army and looked up to the sun and saw a cross of light above it, and with it the Greek words (ἐν) τούτῳ νίκα (In this, conquer)

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R59WXF - This image shows the interior of a café in York featuring individual work pods, designed to provide quiet, semi-private spaces for customers working remotely or studying. The pods are constructed with simple, modern materials including plywood panels and muted painted surfaces, reflecting contemporary café and coworking design trends.
Visible signage lists a range of teas and drinks, reinforcing the dual purpose of the space as both a traditional coffee shop and a functional workspace. The numbered pods indicate structured seating, allowing customers to work individually while remaining within a social café environment.
Café work pods have become increasingly common in UK cities, particularly following shifts toward remote and hybrid working. They cater to freelancers, students, digital nomads, and professionals seeking an alternative to home working or formal offices.
Photographed to show layout, materials, and signage, the image documents the evolving role of cafés as multifunctional spaces supporting modern work habits. It is well suited for editorial use covering remote working, urban lifestyle, modern café culture, coworking trends, and contemporary interior design in the UK.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2M4W2W1 - BrewDog is a multinational brewery and pub chain based in Ellon, Scotland. With production of over 800,000 hectolitres, BrewDog claims to be the #1 Craft Brewer in Europe. It was founded in 2007 by James Watt and Martin Dickie, who together own 46% of the company.
The company has been involved in a number of controversies. These have focused on its treatment of employees, use of unethical business practices, and hypocrisy in regards to its anti-establishment branding
BrewDog was founded in Fraserburgh in 2007 by James Watt and Martin Dickie. Dickie had previously worked at Thornbridge Brewery, where he helped develop Jaipur.
In 2009, BrewDog purchased its first bar, in nearby Aberdeen. At the end of 2018, the company and its franchisees operated 78 bars worldwide
In February 2016, BrewDog open-sourced its beer recipes to the public, making them a form of Free Beer.
In January 2020, BrewDog opened its first alcohol-free bar in London. This closed during 2022
In June 2021, a group of over 100 former BrewDog employees published an open letter criticising the firm's business practices and the treatment of its employees. The letter cited a culture of fear and claimed the company was built on a cult of personality, with founder and CEO Watt singled out for particular criticism
In January 2022, an episode of BBC One investigative series Disclosure interviewed former employees who say they found it a miserable and uncomfortable experience, and some loyal customers [who] now say they regret investing their savings in BrewDog. The Guardian later revealed that Watt had hired private investigators to obtain information on people he believed were propagating a smear campaign against him.
In November 2022, BrewDog's announced an anti-sponsorship of the 2022 FIFA World Cup, criticising Qatar
