AOC Archaeology Group, which has been appointed to undertake an archaeological dig close to the medieval Guildhall site, are encouraging residents and visitors to help unearth the Guildhall’s past.

In partnership with City of York Council, the unique dig is set to begin later this year to give a better understanding of the site’s history and significance, which will help to move forwards with the development of emerging plans for the new-look Guildhall complex.
However, before the digging begins, AOC Archaeology would like to uncover more of the history of the site and the old timber buildings itself (aka the hutments).

NB. The Council now no longer routinely consults neighbours by letter when an application is received.
Barbican development site June 2014
The next Council meeting is likely to debate why a start on building work, on the derelict site next to the Barbican, has been delayed.
Planning permission for a 165 bedroomed hotel was granted in January 2012 with the aim being to provide facilities which would complement the use of the adjacent Barbican auditorium as a conference centre.
Property firm Broadhall was granted permission to build a Hilton Garden Inn on the land. The development was expected to bring at least 200 additional jobs to the City.
Plans to erect nearly 200 flats on another part of the vacant site were submitted last year
A recent major conference held at the Barbican centre was criticised for lack of “break out” space.
Now the site – which used to accommodate a swimming pool – has been derelict for 2 years with gaps in the hoardings affecting the view from the City Walls and blighting one of he key routes around the City.

Walmgate Bar June 2014
The Council has also been criticised for not starting a permanent repair on nearby Walmgate Bar.
The Bar was shored up following a collision four years ago.
Two years ago the media reported that a start on refurbishment work was imminent.
With the City having a “showcase” opportunity provided by the Tour de France event next month, many had expected the Council to act on unsightly buildings and sites.
