Monk Bar

Just round the corner from Ogleforth is the magnificent Monk Bar. Just to confuse everday English speakers in York the gates into the city are known as bars and the word gate incorporated into a street name derives from the Norse for street. Monk Bar stands at the end of Goodramgate which translates as the Street of Goodrun. I have heard it called Good-Ram-Gate by an American Tourist with a distinct pause between each word!
