The Blue Bell, Grade II* listed pub in Fossgate, York, England
The Blue Bell features a narrow hallway with a drinking lobby, a front public bar, and a wood-panelled smoke room at the back of the building.
The building began as a five-bay timber-framed house in the late 17th century and transformed into The Blue Bell pub in 1798 under C. J. Melrose and Sons ownership.
George Robinson, the 1903 landlord, formed York City Football Club through meetings held at The Blue Bell, establishing its connection to local sports history.
The pub maintains a capacity limit of 65 people and implements restrictions on large groups to preserve the traditional drinking environment.
The interior elements from a 1903 refurbishment, including art nouveau glass panels and original Edwardian fittings, earned this pub its Grade II* listed status.
