Originally known as ‘The Board Inn’ the pub is haunted by the mysterious footsteps. At the West End of the Great Nave of York Minster stood a door, which lead to the chapel of the Holy Sepulchre. In 1816 excavations of the Board Inn revealed a dark secret. A hole was found which lead to a dungeon, where chains and manacles hung. A tunnel, also found, was bricked up by a superstitious builder because of accounts of eerie footsteps that echoed from the darkness. These footsteps, it is claimed, can still be heard today. The chapel pub was demolished and the Board Inn assumed the present name. The pub is situated upon one of England’s oldest streets, High Petergate, which was the Roman main street via Principans: Bootham Bar being the main gate to Eboracum…..York. In 1501 a knocker was placed on the door of Bootham Bar so that the Scottish persons who were wishful to enter should knock first and ask permission from the Lord Mayor. An order which is still believed to be in force. At the side is Little Peculiar Lane, celebrated as one of the shortest and most detectable of all the snickleways for it’s awe-inspiring view of the Minster. Unfortunately we do not accept dogs at this time. http://www.drinkaware.co.uk/
