Bay Horse, York

The Bay Horse is a pub on Blossom Street, immediately west of the city centre of York, in England.

It was first recorded as an inn in 1748, around which time it was raised to three storeys, and extended from an L-plan to a square plan.

It is now a three-bay building, built of brick, with a rendered front which has a parapet disguising the tiled roof.

This name is believed to refer to the horse Bay Malton, who won a major race nearby, at York Racecourse.

By 1969, the pub was owned by John Smith's Brewery, which restored the ground floor, reusing some of the Victorian fittings.
