36–42 Coney Street
buildings in York, England, UK
36–42 Coney Street is a historic terrace in the city centre of York, England.
The oldest part of the terrace is the rear part of No. 36, which is a three-storey timber-framed structure built in the early 17th century, and later encased in brick. Two three-storey brick houses were constructed next to it, one in the mid-18th century, and one slightly later. In the 1780s, a terrace of three four-storey houses was built at the front of the site, facing onto Coney Street. Nos. 38 and 40 are of similar size, while No. 36 extends further back, lit in part by a light well. In the late 19th century, No. 36 was extended further back, and incorporated the buildings at the rear.
