York Castle Museum is a museum located in York, England, on the site of York Castle, which was originally built by William the Conqueror in 1068. The most iconic part of the museum is Kirkgate, a recreated Victorian street. Created by Dr. John Lamplugh Kirk (founder of the museum), it’s one of the oldest recreated indoor streets of its kind in the world and the first to be opened in Britain. Each shop and business on Kirkgate is named after a real business that operated in late Victorian York. Costumed guides can tell you more about each shop when you arrive.
