The Black Swan Inn, at Number 44, was among the most important inns and coaching houses in York in the 18th century. It occupied a deep site some 60 feet wide by 208 feet deep, with the main building fronting the street and with a yard behind, which in 1850 was entirely surrounded by buildings. At that time the inn also included a building to the S.E. on the site of the Yorkshire Bank built in 1923.
