The York Directory

York, North Yorkshire

York’s Roman, Viking and medieval layers meet around the Minster, city walls and the narrow streets of the Shambles, with the Ouse and Foss joining nearby. The York Directory connects businesses in that historic centre with independent streets such as Fossgate and Bishopthorpe Road, neighbourhoods including Acomb and Clifton, and villages such as Haxby, Wigginton, Poppleton and Dunnington. Chocolate making and the railways add further strands to the city’s identity. The site organises shops, food businesses, trades, health services and community groups by category and local area. Businesses can submit a free standard profile containing their description, services, contact options, website and image. Listings are reviewed before publication, and an optional FastTrack + Featured upgrade offers priority review and greater prominence. Local guides explore attractions, community contacts and shopping across markets, independent streets and neighbourhood centres. What’s On supplies dated event listings and organiser links, alongside a guide to business promotion. Owners can update their details through an emailed edit link, while customers contact providers directly without a directory commission.
