THE SHIP YORK pub is first recorded as THE YORK in 1809, and may have been named after HMS York launched by S. & D. BRENT in 1807, although the “SHIP” was not added to the pub title until 1835. By this time the York was in use as a convict ship. In 1871 and earlier the address is at Lower York Street, being referred to as the York in the 1871 census. At Swingbridge Road between 1881 and at least 1899, at 2a Elgar Street by 1891, and finally at Redriff Road by 1944 ***
