I worked at Mulberry Hall for 12 years initially Michael Sinclair’s secretary and then latterly running a great mail order department where we did indeed ship all over the world. I remember my time there fondly and only left to go overseas. It is the most beautiful building the interior can change but when I look at it I still see it as it was 27 years ago. However tastes change and no longer are these exquisite items collected but rather trends and styles that are changeable and disposable.

A trip to York was never complete without a good mooch around Mulberry Hall. The range of exquisite tableware and glass was complemented by jewellery and kitchen items. I bought many lovely things from Mulberry Hall over the years, the final big item being a Wedgwood Epergne. Visiting this wonderful shop (with its Lalique room and crystal table) always lifted the spirits. It is a sad loss to Stonegate, but dining tastes have changed and cheaper ceramic imports adorn the nation’s tables. A great shame.

Hi.
Before Mulberry Hall, the premises used to be the York Coffee House. I can remember many visits there to enjoy the experience of frothy coffee served in glass cups. The sight of the Italian machine producing this steam was, to a youngster, awesome. Much more exciting than Betty’s or Terry’s!

The rear of the property was the Stonegate Grill. Not just a restaurant but a new idea in classy eating experience, very upmarket.
Definitely more stylish than Berni Inns on Blossom Street. Stonegate Grill catered for the Theatre clientele.
