7 and 8, Shambles, Historic timber-framed building in Shambles, York, England.

Numbers 7 and 8 Shambles feature three stories with exposed wooden beams, medieval architecture, and traditional shop fronts facing the narrow cobblestone street.

The building, constructed in the early and late 1400s, originally served as a butcher's shop with separate living quarters on the upper floors.

The structure represents medieval building techniques with its jettied upper floors and timber frame construction, which influenced York's architectural development.

Located in central York, the building now houses retail spaces on the ground floor and offices above, with access from the main pedestrian thoroughfare.

The structure retains its original 17th-century brick chimney breast and displays modifications from different centuries, documenting evolving construction methods.
