I do remember Cross’s being further down near Clifton Green, where the betting shop is now. Their old sign is included in http://yorkstories.co.uk/little-lost-things-signage/

Certainly well into the seventies the building between Whiting’s and what became the Churchill Hotel (I think at this time the Churchill building belonged to the Environment Agency) was indeed a shop. It was a Fishmongers, I believe Cross’s. It had a very fifties tiled facade with I believe a central entrance that was shuttered when closed. I particularly remember passing at the end of trading when the shop assistant complete with blue and white striped apron would hose down the shop interior onto the pavement outside. There was also a typical lettered delivery cycle regularly parked outside. When the shop closed it relocated further down Clifton near to the Green.
