Guy Fawkes' family home in York could become a pub

A pub could be opened on the site of the former home of gunpowder plotter Guy Fawkes.

The Fawkes and the Tiger bar on Stonegate in York would be located where his parents lived at the time of his birth in 1570.An alcohol licence was granted for the new 210-seat venue at a council meeting on Monday. Local companies Pivovar and Thornbridge Brewery aim to convert the former Cath Kidston shop which has been empty for two years., the pub will operate in the city centre "cumulative impact zone", an area where the number of licensed premises and associated noise, crime and disorder adversely affect residents, visitors and other businesses.

The zone is split into three areas - red, amber and green - which relate to the number of licensed premises and the incidences of crime and disorder. Despite the Fawkes and The Tiger being in the green area, police licensing officer for York Kim Hollis argued that the venue should be predominantly food-led to fit in with the council's licensing policies.Pivovar owner Jamie Hawksworth, who already operates Pivni, York Tap and Pavement Vaults in the city, said: "We don't set out to attract the lowest common denominator.

Hold on!!! There is already a pub in York that says it was the home of Guy Fawkes. Its close to the minster and very popular with students

I’m hoping for a resurrection of the man

What about anything to do with the true brains behind the assassination attempt, Robert Catesby? There were around 12 other plotters, but Fawkes is the one we remember.

Hope the opening goes with a bang!

The fawkes’ and hound.

Will they be serving bangers and mash

York mini-golf course plan rejected by councillorsObjectors argued the course, close to historical sites, would be in the wrong place. So councillors think that unrestricted stag and hen parties are ok in York but a family friendly attraction such as mini golf isn’t. That’s par for the course. The council can't make any money from this so it's a no brown envelope job.
