Guy Fawkes family home in York could become a pub
A pub could be opened on the site of the former home of gunpowder plotter Guy Fawkes.
The Fawkes and the Tiger bar on Stonegate in York would be located where his parents lived at the time of his birth in 1570.An alcohol licence was granted for the new 210-seat venue at a council meeting on Monday. Local companies Pivovar and Thornbridge Brewery aim to convert the former Cath Kidston shop which has been empty for two years., the pub will operate in the city centre "cumulative impact zone", an area where the number of licensed premises and associated noise, crime and disorder adversely affect residents, visitors and other businesses.
The zone is split into three areas - red, amber and green - which relate to the number of licensed premises and the incidences of crime and disorder. Despite the Fawkes and The Tiger being in the green area, police licensing officer for York Kim Hollis argued that the venue should be predominantly food-led to fit in with the council's licensing policies.Pivovar owner Jamie Hawksworth, who already operates Pivni, York Tap and Pavement Vaults in the city, said: "We don't set out to attract the lowest common denominator.
