OUR archive photo today dates from 1958 and shows the Stonebow pub on the corner of Stonebow and Fossgate.
The pub has had many incarnations over the years – and has gone through several name changes, including Northern Wall, The Boulevard, YO1 and The Terrace as it is known today.
Best known for its sports coverage – this is the place to catch the big game of the day.
It’s fair to say it’s been a football fan’s mecca for many years now, thanks to the multiple screens dotted around the bar.
It must have been quite different in 1958 – and if any readers remember, please get in touch.
So called Stonebow, it was named after its location.
Building Stonebow in the 1950s
Stonebow, the road linking downtown to Layerthorpe – was built just three years earlier, opening on October 14, 1955. It was part of a slum removal program and featured many new buildings, many made of concrete, that reached a note with many who have sought to preserve York’s historic character.
