About this audio guide
This guide to Whip-Ma-Whop-Ma-Gate in York starts with the noisy end of St Crux church in eighteen eighty-seven, then reaches back into the long contest between the church and the Pavement market next door. You'll meet the stallholders, the Shambles butchers, and the lane's earlier names, including one from fifteen oh five. Best heard standing by the old parish hall wall.
