11 St. Saviour's Place

Bought by the Trust in 1950, this Georgian property, built in 1826, was formerly the Red Lion public house. It was restored in 1963 and converted into office premises. The 19th century double shop front from the Westminster Press Office, Fleet Street, London was inserted at that time. This was moved to York by the late Dr J B Morrell, chairman of York Civic Trust 1946-63, and then chairman of Westminster Press Provincial Newspapers Limited, the owners of the Fleet Street offices. The building is of three storeys with three bays to the south front, and is of brick with a Welsh slate roof.
