St Helen's Square

St Helen's Square is an open space in the city centre of York, England.

In addition a footpath ran across the graveyard, linking Davygate with the junction of Stonegate and Blake Street.

In the early 20th century the square was enlarged to the south-east, giving it a more regular, rectangular, shape.

[2] The south-western side of the square is occupied by the Mansion House and there is also access to the York Guildhall, which can be seen through a gateway.

On the north-western side Harkers was constructed for the Yorkshire Insurance Company, and the York County Savings Bank Building was also built in the mid-19th century for a local institution.
