Deangate

Deangate is a street in the city centre of York, England, connecting College Street and Goodramgate with Minster Yard.

It was constructed as the last part of a scheme to open up traffic flow in the former Minster Precinct.

It was given the suffix "-gate" to match many of the older streets in the city.

It became increasingly busy, and by the 1980s was carrying 2,000 vehicles per hour past York Minster, causing damage to its structure and noise pollution.

The York Civic Trust launched a campaign to pedestrianise the street, which succeeded in 1991.
