11 And 13, Micklegate

11 and 13 Micklegate are two houses that have been converted into shops, dating from around 1740 and restored in the late 20th century. The buildings are constructed of variegated brick in Flemish bond and feature a moulded dentilled and modillion eaves cornice that returns at the right end. The roof is half-hipped and covered with pantiles.

The exterior has a three-storey front with four windows. On the ground floor, there are paired 20th-century shopfronts beneath a continuous cornice. The original 19th-century bay windows on the first floor have been replaced with 20th-century unequal 15-pane sashes, which are topped with soldier brick arches. The second floor features 12-pane sash windows with flat arches made of gauged brick. All the upper floor windows have renewed stone sills.

Notably, from the late 18th century until 1830, No. 13 was the home of Henry Cave, a well-known watercolourist and engraver from York. The interior has not been inspected.
