112 Micklegate is a Grade II listed former public house on Micklegate in York, England. Originating as a house in the early 16th century, it was rebuilt and refronted in the mid‑18th century and later altered with a 19th‑century front, by which time it had become known as the Red Lion. The pub closed in 1939, and the building is now used as a café-restaurant with holiday accommodation above.
History
[edit]Standing on Micklegate, the building began as a house in the early 16th century.[1] It was partly rebuilt and given a new front between 1745 and 1748, as recorded in the vicars choral's leases.[2] Further changes were made in the mid‑19th century, when the windows were renewed and a shopfront-style frontage was added.[1] By this period the property had taken on the name and function of the Red Lion, as shown by successive trade directories.
The 1851 directory of Kingston-upon-Hull and York records James Snowden at the Red Lion, with the address given as No. 64,[3] while the 1885 directory for York lists Joseph Graham at the Red Lion Inn at the same address.[4] The 1913 Kelly's Directory of the North and East Ridings of Yorkshire records Eli Plimmer at the Red Lion at No. 112.[5]
The premises closed in 1939, and the licence was transferred to the Winning Post on Bishopthorpe Road.[6] In 1968 the site was included within the newly established Central Historic Core conservation area,[7] and on 24 June 1983, No. 112 was designated a Grade II listed building.[1] It stands beside No. 114, a late-17th-century building that is also Grade II listed.[8] The ground floor of No. 112 is now occupied by Partisan, a café-restaurant, while the upper floors have been adapted for use as holiday apartments.[9][10]
Architecture
[edit]The building has a timber structure with a later front of painted brick.[1] It has a hipped roof of slate with a timber band at the eaves, corner brackets with a curled profile, and brick chimneys.[1]
The front has three storeys and a single window bay.[1] The ground floor shopfront is built in painted brick, with simple uprights and shaped tops, and a shallow fascia supported by grooved brackets and finished with small rounded gables.[1] A modern glazed door stands to the left of a large display window set above a panelled base.[1]
On the first floor, a five‑sided bay window projects outward, with small arched panes supported on slender shafts and a decorative band beneath.[1] Above it is a shaped frieze and a cornice with dentil and scalloped detailing.[1] The second floor has a single four‑pane sash window.[1] A narrow raised brick band runs across the front at second‑floor level.[1]
