York Magistrates' Court, Grade II listed courthouse in Clifford Street, York, England.
The Magistrates' Court stands as a brick and stone building with two octagonal turrets flanking the entrance and features ornate Gothic Revival architectural elements.
Prince Albert Victor, Duke of Clarence and Avondale, laid the foundation stone on July 16, 1890, with construction finishing in October 1892 at a cost of £17,050.
The building's pediment displays the carved arms of York city and a figure of Justice with scales, representing the enduring principles of law and order.
The courthouse continues to serve as an active judicial facility, handling various legal proceedings and administrative matters for the local community.
The building incorporates a clock tower that has maintained accurate time for York residents since the Victorian era, combining civic function with architectural design.
