The entrance to the former Clifford Street Friends Meeting House. This part of the meeting house opened in 1885 facing the newly created Clifford Street. A large meeting house was needed because most of the pupils and staff of the two York Quaker schools, Bootham and The Mount attended Sunday worship. History: https://www.yorkquakers.org.uk/Resources/History%20of%20Friargate%20Meeting%20House.pdf . Attendance from the schools is now optional so this part of the building has been sold off and is now residential. The current meeting house lies behind this building. Its entrance is up Friargate on the left of the picture.
