Three Legged Mare - High Petergate

Looking into High Petergate from the corner by the Minster the curiously named "Three Legged Mare" pub run by York Brewery is the building more or less on the central vertical line of the photograph with slightly arched windows. The curious name does not relate to that broken down nag you backed in 3:30 race but is a reference to a type of gallows. Just to the right of it on the wall on the right hand side of the road is the sign for the "York Arms" displaying the coat of arms for York.
