York’s most famous street. Most of its buildings date from the 15th Century and it was a mediaeval street occupied by butchers and takes its name from the ‘shammel benches’ used by these tradesmen. The street was notorious for its foul smells - an open sewer ran down its middle - and it was home to the Catholic martyr Margaret Clitheroe. The Shambles is also the only street still in existence in York to be mentioned in the Domesday Book. Nowadays, it is filled with cafes, restaurants and interesting little shops.
