Coppergate

Coppergate is a street in the city centre of York, in England.

[1] The site of the street lays outside Roman York's walls and was a glass-making district.

[4] The south-western end of the street was widened in 1900, leading to the replacement of most Mediaeval buildings.

[1] In 1976, major Viking remains were found immediately south of the street, while a cinema and the Cravens confectionery factory were demolished.

[3][5] The back of the church of All Saints, Pavement, lies on the north side of the street, followed by a row of shops with their main entrances on High Ousegate.
