| 31-35 Main Street | Bishopthorpe View on map |
18/19th century | Village butcher's shop and house with ancillary buildings, including slaughterhouse. Of 18th and 19th century with later alterations.

1886 | Private residence, originally known as Low Royd.

In 1905 a new wing, designed by Walter Brierley, was added to the original house. Included because it is the work of two highly regarded architects, of whom Brierley is Nationally recognised; because the 1905 wing retains exceptionally fine fixtures and fittings designed by Brierley; also for its connection with a local personality prominent in the late Victorian cultural life of the City; and for its contribution to the street scene of St. Olaves Road. |
| Yearsley Pool | Haley’s Terrace View on map |
1908 | Built by Rowntree & Co in 1908 and gifted by deed to the citizens of York on 4th May 1909. It replaced an old bath in the River Foss downstream of Yearsley Bridge. The new pool was originally open-air. The facility was modernised in 1964/5 when it was roofed over. However the pool tank is relatively unaltered and the poolside cubicles retain many original features. Yearsley Pool epitomises the ‘best of the old’, embodying a time of sound construction, good materials, and pragmatic design combined with a respect for the aesthetic. It serves as a memorial to an era when paternalistic civic pride in local amenities was not uncommon. It provides an important contribution to the community’s well being. |

1900 | The existence of these stables is a reminder of the major role played by horses on the railway and in towns. This extremely rare survival of a large stable range is illustrative of its original function despite later conversion to other uses. They have a visual and functional group value with the old Goods Station, now the National Railway Museum, and the adjacent Coal Manager's office. Of High Historical & Evidential Significance. |

| Blue Beck House | View on map |
1891-97 |
Along with Verandah Cottages (also on York's Local Heritage List), Blue Beck House is one of few remaining buildings on the site of the now-demolished Clifton Hospital (of 1851, designed by George Gilbert Scott with William Bonython Moffatt, architects of national repute who worked prolifically in the asylum and workhouse fields).
The wider, former hospital site is of importance due to it having been chosen for the new asylum as an airy, accessible site between Clifton Ings and Shipton Road, providing an extensive parkland setting. While the site has been lost due to extensive demolitions and unsympathetic redevelopment, the landscape of the site remains legible and distinctive in character; the extant buildings, including Blue Beck House, punctuate the landscape orientating and referencing the history of the site.
Thought to have been the hospital's laundry, Blue Beck House was completed in 1891-7. The upper floors housed female inmates who worked in the laundry on the ground floor.
Blue Beck House has intrinsic architectural quality which merits conservation. Designed by the firm of George Fowler Jones of York in red brick under slate roofs, the building adopts the English domestic revival architectural style, exemplified in its extensive stone dressings; mullion and transom windows with cast iron lights; timbered gables and attic storey to the hipped tower; and leaded ventilation cupola.
The design and construction of the building is of high quality, great character, and possesses significant aesthetic design values; historical illustrative and associated values relating to its historic function and association with the hospital and Fowler Jones; and communal heritage values relating to the historic and current uses for health services.

c.1860s-1870s |
Along with Blue Beck House (also on York's Local Heritage List), Verandah Cottages are among the few remaining buildings on the site of the now-demolished Clifton Hospital (of 1851, designed by George Gilbert Scott with William Bonython Moffatt, architects of national repute who worked prolifically in the asylum and workhouse fields).
The wider, former hospital site is of importance due to it having been chosen for the new asylum as an airy, accessible site between Clifton Ings and Shipton Road, providing an extensive parkland setting. While the site has been lost due to extensive demolitions and unsympathetic redevelopment, the landscape of the site remains legible and distinctive in character; the extant buildings, including Verandah Cottages, punctuate the landscape orientating and referencing the history of the site.
Verandah Cottages are likely to date from the 1860s-70s and provided family housing to members of staff of the Asylum.
Designed in a cottage style with multiple gables, overhanging eaves, large modelled chimney stacks and detailing including finials and red brick dressings, they have an ornamental quality and of great charm and possess significant aesthetic design value.
As a consequence of the heritage significance of Bluebeck House and Verandah Cottages identified, it is considered that both buildings qualify as non-designated heritage assets defined in the Planning Practice Guidance as “having a degree of significance meriting consideration in planning decisions”.

HAXBY AND WIGGINTON
| Site | Address | Date | Description |
| Former Tannery / Farm, Wigginton | 11-13 The Village, Wigginton View on map |
From early 19thC | The site of a historic farmstead/ tannery, representing a good survival of associated 19th-century buildings which are characterful remnants of a historic village farm (including a charming double-fronted cottage/barn in gardens). Largely intact evidential significance of an undeveloped farmstead plot. Subsequent histories as tannery, reversion to farming use, and finally the remodelling of the site in c.1970 with house by York-architect Ronald Sims give it additional layers of architectural, historical, community and townscape significance.

RAWCLIFFE AND CLIFTON WITHOUT
| Site | Address | Date | Description |
| 1-6 South Cottages | Shipton Road View on map |
1911 | Locally listed due to the row of cottages’ architectural and historical significance as a work of the Brierley firm of the early C20 period, with characteristic architectural treatment of restrained brickwork with rusticated brick quoin embellishments for end gables, pitched roofs with oversailing eaves, and, originally, use of 'three over six' timber windows; particularly nice as a scheme of "married attendants" workers’ cottages and contrasting with Brierley’s more familiar large house and civic buildings output; and as a surviving component of the County Asylum estate. Having suffered from a few unsympathetic alterations (small extensions, insertion of French doors, PVC windows), the row's architectural character remains strong: internally, all the principal rooms face south, with service rooms on the north side; they are unusual in their T-shape and having two yards, north and south. The site of the cottages is hidden from the main Shipton Road and the arrangement of gardens on their south side which acts as the architectural "front", across which residents have rite of passage across each other’s property, giving a particular communal spirit to these buildings. The north side features little yards with fuel stores and acts, effectively, as the main entrances, with a common lane, and then garths facing across the lane. The landscape setting of the cottages is charming and likely relates to the cottages’ relationship with the former asylum; to the south, open land leading to an orchard (assumed to have been part of the asylum grounds). The setting has been diminished by encroaching, unsympathetic development of recent years, in particular the estate which was built on sale of the hospital site. The cottages have been cited in the revised version of North Yorkshire Pevsner, edited by Jane Grenville, as valuable assets. Their construction is recorded in the Clifton Hospital Archives at the Borthwick Institute and there is a plan of the elevation of the row with details filled in for No 1. |
