The three houses nearest the camera are all grade II listed despite being constructed of different materials. Nearest the camera is Leonard House which is early 19th century and was at some point refaced with Flemish bond brickwork which in turn has been painted over. The other two houses are dates as circa 1800.

At the corner of Old Maltongate and Church Hill, identified as the Old Maltongate Garage by reference to the Ordnance Survey benchmark locator; a cut mark at a height of 32.3027m can be found on the northwest face of the building.

Looking back up a one way street, all vehicles to the properties on Church Hill have to come in this way and go out at the bottom into a busy road.

This notice is fixed to the telephone exchange in Greengate. It says the following: "H.M. Postmaster General the owner of the land and forecourt in front of these premises has not dedicated and does not intend to dedicate as a highway the said land and forecourt or any part thereof or any way thereupon or thereover". This legal jargon would imply that the area the TE covers solely belonged to the Postmaster General and no-one else. The Postmaster General was until 1969 a Government Minister in charge of the General Post Office which provided post and telephone services. The GPO then became the Post Office Corporation, which was split up during the 1980s. Royal Mail is now responsible for the postal services whilst BT covers the telephone provision.

Situated in Greengate, this modern TE replaced the former manual TE in the mid-1960s. BT Openreach vans can be seen parked outside it. Its postcode is YO17 7EN.

The church of St Leonard and St Mary is unusual in that it has medieval origins and would have been a Catholic church at that time, but following the reformation it became a Church of England, only to revert to the Catholic faith in 1971, which makes it the first church to be returned in England. The building is Grade II* listed and has a 15th century tower and 19th century spire.
