Nos. 41, 43 and 45, GOODRAMGATE

Nos. 41, 43 and 45 Goodramgate comprise two shops and a restaurant, originally dating back to around 1500. An early 17th-century extension was added, with further remodelling in the mid-19th century and early 19th century, followed by 20th-century alterations, and a restoration of No. 45 in 1929 by Brierley and Rutherford.

The building is constructed of timber frame with frame and plaster infilling, exposed on the front of No. 45. Nos. 41 and 43 have refronted facades of painted brick in Flemish bond and orange-grey mottled brick in Flemish bond respectively. The roof is tiled and pantiled with a brick stack. The front range consists of five tenements and incorporates a three-bay hall at the left rear, and a two-bay wing, likely rebuilt, at the right rear.

No. 41 has three storeys and an attic, with a single-window front. A 19th-century shopfront features sunk panel pilasters and a projecting cornice, topped by carved gablet caps. A 20th-century glazed door and two-light window are present. The first-floor window is a three-light square bay with a dentilled cornice, while the second floor has a single-pane sash with a painted flat arch of gauged brick. An attic window is a fixed light beneath boarded eaves.

No. 43 is three storeys high with a single-window front. A 20th-century shop front has a recessed panelled door with lozenge-patterned glazing and a divided overlight, alongside a plate glass transom window. The first floor has a 16-pane sash, the second floor a 12-pane sash, both with painted sills and flat arches. A small inserted sash window is located to the right of the second-floor window.

The front of No. 45 is three storeys and has an attic, with a three-window front. The first and second floors are jettied, and the second-floor jetty is dropped at the left end to form a deep porch over the entrance, supported by partly restored curved brackets. Double, glazed and panelled doors lead to shop windows with small-pane glazing. Paired casement windows are above the porch on the first floor, and to the right are two oriels of three mullioned lights. Three pairs of casements are on the second floor, and three half-hipped dormers with two-light casement windows are in the attic. The rear of the building has two storeys and two bays, with a gabled cross wing projecting at the right. Timber framing is exposed, although the ground floor of the wing is obscured by a 20th-century extension; mullioned windows, of two, three, or four lights, are present with square leaded lights. All mullions are timber.

The interior retains approximately 75% of the original timber framing, heavily restored in places. No. 41 has a simple cornice and a plain fireplace on the first floor. The building is a rare example of its type, comparable to Nos 28, 30 and 32 Coppergate, York. Nos 41 and 43 were also listed on 19/08/1971.
