York has a thriving business community with an abundance of shopping streets overflowing with just about every type of shop selling many varied goods.
York's streets are not only home to splendid shops and exciting tourist attractions: many are stars in their own right. Here are some of the more interesting ones:
Goodramgate
Old buildings abound in Goodramgate, including the oldest row of houses in York - and possibly the country.
Lady Row dates from the 14th century and today houses a selection of tiny shops.
Goodramgate leads up from Petergate to the attractive Monk Bar. Its name was originally Gutherungate, the 12th century anglicised version of the Danish name of a Viking king.
Between the shops are various small alleyways, including Bedern leading to Bedern Hall; College Street, at the junction of Goodramgate and Deangate, leading to St William's College; Ogleforth and another turning, Aldwark, leading to the Merchant Taylor's Hall.
