Cross Keys Hotel

The Cross Keys Hotel is a hotel located on Tadcaster Road in Dringhouses, York. It was built in the early 18th century, with alterations made in the late 18th century and in 1900. The building is constructed of brick in Flemish bond and features a roof covered with pantiles above eaves courses of plain tiles.

The hotel has two storeys plus attics and consists of three bays. The outer bays are highlighted by two-storey canted bay windows that have glazing bar sashes set on brick bases, topped with flat roofs and cornices. In the centre of the first floor, there is a blocked window opening with an elliptical arch, which contains a smaller glazing bar sash window within the blocking. The attic dormers are plain tiled and feature moulded pedimented gables with glazing bar sashes.

On the ground floor, there is a wide carriageway with an elliptical arch that is now blocked, but it has narrow windows with glazing bars on either side of an added porch. This porch is adorned with a pediment supported by console brackets and features a door architrave. To the left of the blocked carriageway, there is evidence of further rebuilding, including part of a brick band. The left-hand return wall, which faces south towards St Helen's Road, has two additional two-storey canted bay windows similar to those on the front elevation. The roof is half-hipped, with a gable above a wide dormer that has casements with glazing bars.

The interior has not been inspected, but records indicate that it originally contained a staircase with turned balusters with knops, square newels, and a moulded handrail. An inn has been present on this site since around 1250.
