Review of Whip Ma Whop Ma Gate from 9 September 2008

its also a street where in medieval times, you took your wife down, to legally flog her, if she got out of order!

though its not the done thing now!

or ever? old wives tale

its just a corner on a cross road, blink and you’ll miss it
stonebow, coliergate, the pavement and fossgate

Review of Whip Ma Whop Ma Gate from 11 July 2008

While indeed one of the shortest streets in york (if not the whole of england lol) theres a lot of history behind whip ma whoop ma gate. Including being the location of the city pillory (Device used for public humiliation / torture). It was also a location used for lords and governers for public speaking so with that said it indeed holds a lot of history and might be worth a visit if your in the area.
