About this audio guide
This guide to Ye Olde Starre Inne in York starts with the board hanging over Stonegate and a pub that cannot be seen from the street it advertises on. It goes back to a landlord named Thomas Bulman in seventeen thirty-three, a coaching inn tucked behind the shopfronts, and the neighbours whose walls mattered more than his own. Best heard standing under the sign, looking up.
