York Castle Museum

York Castle Museum is housed in a former debtors’ prison and an adjoining former women’s prison, both of which are Grade I listed. The museum’s name comes from the fact it stands on the site of the former York Castle.​

The museum was founded by Dr John Kirk, a doctor from Pickering, North Yorkshire, and houses his extraordinary collection of social history items reflecting everyday life in the county. ​
​
One of its renowned displays is the reconstructed Victorian street, Kirkgate.​
