Gert and Henry's lies at the heart of the city of York, between the market and Parliament Street. It dates back to around 1600. It has been used as a restaurant since 1929, and since 1957 it has been owned by York Conservation Trust.
I first knew it as the White Rose Restaurant in the early 1970s, but it has had several different names since then.
Thank you all for your lovely comments and favs, they are very much appreciated.
I do like to see these old timber framed buildings. I remember one on North Street being dismantled some years ago, with poorer timbers replaced, and then rebuilt using traditional techniques.
