48 and 50 Stonegate
48 and 50 Stonegate is a historic building in the city centre of York, in England.
The timber framed building lies on the north side of Stonegate. It was built in about 1600, and was altered in the 19th century, when two shopfronts were inserted on the ground floor, the windows were changed, and the interior was rearranged. The building was grade II* listed in 1954.[1][2] Since 2009, part of the building has been the House of the Trembling Madness pub and shop, which has won an award as the UK's leading independent beer retailer.[3]
The three-storey building is rendered and painted at the front. The shopfronts are constructed of timber, and there is a pantile roof and brick chimneystacks. Both storeys are jettied at the front, and the upper floors each have two sash windows. The ground floor has paired doorways in the centre, both having fanlights. The right-hand side of the building faces onto a snickelway, with a further door and windows. The Norman House is at the rear. Inside, some historic fireplaces survive, including one from about 1700. There is an early staircase from the first to the second floor of number 50, and an 18th-century door in its attic.[1][2]
