Plans to renovate historic York building amid fears part of it could fall down

Plans lodged to renovate York’s Treasurer’s House have warned part of the historic building could collapse unless it is repaired.

National Trust plans have proposed dismantling the upper part of the Grade I-listed building’s lift shaft and rebuilding it, along with cleaning black sulphate off its stonework.

The plans stated there was currently a risk of falling masonry which could injure people below because of the poor condition of the upper section of the lift shaft.
