The well known and much loved Bile Beans ghost sign.
Bile Beans was a laxative and tonic first marketed in the 1890s. The product supposedly contained substances extracted from an unknown vegetable source by a chemist known as Charles Forde, however Charles Force didn't exist and was made up to try and increase the sales of Bile Beans.
In the early years Bile Beans were marketed as "Charles Forde's Bile Beans for Biliousness". Among other cure-all claims, Bile Beans promised to "disperse unwanted fat" and "purify and enrich the blood".
The manufacturer claimed that the formula for Bile Beans was based on a vegetable source known only to Aboriginal Australians, its actual ingredients, which included cascara, rhubarb, liquorice and menthol. A court case initiated in Scotland in 1905 found that the Bile Bean Manufacturing Company's business was based on a fraud and conducted fraudulently, but Bile Beans continued to be sold until the 1980s nevertheless

St Sampson’s Church - Now a community centre for the over 60s, St Sampson’s Church lay empty and neglected for six years until it was rescued by York Civic Trust in 1974. It is the only church in England dedicated to St Sampson of York.
The earliest mention of the church is in a charter of King Stephen dating from 1154.

It's not often you see The Shambles so quiet! Maybe we should rename it The Shhhhhambles 🤪

Wanna know the real name of York Minster? 'The Cathedral and Metropolitical Church of Saint Peter'..... Think we'll just stick to York Minster. It's no secret that it's one of the largest cathedrals of it's kind in Northern Europe but did you know that the first recorded church on the site was a wooden structure built in 627?
