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!

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

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.
