New Street is a road in the city centre of York, in England.
The street was planned in 1745. Two houses were demolished, a derelict one facing Coney Street, and Davy Hall, on Davygate. It was paved in 1747 and was originally named Cumberland Row. By the early-19th century, the street was generally known as "New Street". In 1891, the street was widened, and some buildings at the north-east end of the street were demolished. [1]
In 1805, the Methodist New Street Chapel was opened on the street. It closed in 1908, becoming the Central Mission, and then from 1910 a variety theatre. In 1922, it became the Tower Cinema. [2] It closed in 1966 and was replaced by the Davygate Arcade, which has since also been demolished. [3]
The street is now home to a mixture of shops and bars, with the City of York Council noting that it is a secondary shopping street, with the sides of some buildings facing the street. [4] The York Mix has noted ongoing issues with alcohol-related disorder on the street, which it describes as "teeming with bars". [5]
The street runs south-west, from Davygate to Coney Street. Much of the south-east side of the street is occupied by 3-9 New Street. One of the first terraces of identical houses built in the city, it was completed in 1746 and originally consisted of six houses, with four surviving. 1 New Street was built in 1959, in a style to match the terrace. On the north-west side is 8 New Street, built as a coach house in about 1745, which later served as the engine house of the Yorkshire Insurance Company. [1] [6]
