Talbot Court is a gated courtyard off Low Petergate. Access is flanked on one side by 62 Low Petergate, currently a restaurant but previously York College for Girls. On the other side is a row of shops with modern facades. But once inside Talbot Court, the true nature of the building housing these shops is revealed – an impressive, complex, period timber-framed structure. Some nicely-carved wood vines are also visible to the left of the entrance.
The courtyard also reveals stunning views towards the Minster, and interesting perspectives on both Holy Trinity Church Goodramgate, and buildings of the Minster School, founded in 627A.D. by Paulinus, the first Archbishop of York.
