Finds from Tudor to Late 18th-century York

From Union Terrace to Pawson’s Warehouse; these sites in the centre of York have revealed a wealth of objects from the late medieval to the early 18th-century periods. We have further examined, photographed and researched objects from these important excavations carried out in the 1980s and 1990s making them exhibition-ready for the future.
