Coney Street

York Coney Street

Coney Street is one of York's main shopping streets, where familiar high street retail names cater as much for locals as for tourists. Some of the buildings in the street are timber-framed structures. Coney Street runs along the course of a stretch of Roman road which lay just outside the Roman fortress and which ran almost parallel to the eastern bank of the River Ouse. The earliest record of Coney Street's name is in 1213 when it was called Cuningstreta, deriving from the Viking word Konungra and straet - a street. Konungr means king - thus it was King's street. Coney Street was once divided into three stretches - Old Coney Street to the north of St Helen's Square, Coney Street in the middle and Little Coney Street to the south. Old Coney Street is now called Lendal, and Little Coney Street is now called Spurriergate.

The Mansion House, located where Coney Street meets Lendal in St Helen's Square is the official residence of the Lord Mayor of York and was built 1725-27 by John Etty. It has an interesting collection of city regalia including a 15th century Sword of State and the Great Mace of 1647.

The medieval church of St Martin-le Grand is located on the south side of Coney Street. Its recorded history goes back as far as the Domesday Book but the church was severely damaged during a World War Two bombing raid in 1942. The church's tower (1427) was originally the south western tower. Some interesting stained glass can be seen within the church, but much of the building is rebuilding of the 1960s. A pretty clock protrudes from the chuch exterior overlooking shoppers in busy Coney Street. It dates from 1668 but was given a new dial 1778. A model of an Admiral with a sextant stands on top of the clock.
