A fascinating past

The city’s historic Roman Praetorian Gate stood across where Harkers is now. Probably rebuilt around 300AD, the gate was the main entrance to the City of York. Part of this structure is exposed in the basement of our pub. We think our history dates to 1824, when we were built to house the Yorkshire Insurance Company. Our name ‘Harkers’ is taken from ‘Harker’s Hotel’, which stood in nearby St. Helen’s Square.
