Blue Boar, Grade II listed pub in Castlegate, York, England
The Blue Boar stands on Castlegate with a distinct 1851 facade featuring a carriage arch that leads to former stables at the rear.
Dating back to Medieval times, the current building was constructed around 1730 after the demolition of the original structure that hosted Royalist soldiers.
The establishment changed its name to Little John in 1894 and maintained this identity until recent years when it returned to its original Blue Boar name.
The pub continues to serve patrons in central York, offering a traditional English pub experience in a building recognized for its architectural merit.
Local records indicate that Dick Turpin's body was displayed in the cellar after his execution, with visitors paying to view the notorious highwayman.
