Blue Bell, 53 Fossgate, York, YO1 9TF

York pub history index

Yorkshire Post and Leeds Intelligencer. 13 August 1955
Of 52 Yorkshire inns scheduled by the Ministry of Housing and Local Government during the past year as being outstanding historic or architectural importance, 27 are situated in York.
Fifteen of York's inns have been placed on the statutory list, meaning that they cannot be demolished or altered without notice, and the remainder of the 27 are on the supplementary list, and will be preserved as long as other and wider interests are not unduly affected.

Established in 1798, The Blue Bell is York’s smallest pub. Last decorated in 1903 and retaining all of it’s Edwardian charm, a drink in The Blue Bell is a step back in time.
NO TVs, music, games machines or any other modern ‘attractions’ that could interrupt the enjoyment of your pint.
