Short answers, pulled from the story.
Coppergate is a street in the city centre of York, England. It runs north-east from a junction of Castlegate, Nessgate, King Street and Clifford Street to a junction of Pavement, Piccadilly, Parliament Street and High Ousegate.
Coppergate was first recorded as a centre for coopers sometime between 1120 and 1135, and the street's name derives from that trade.
In 1976, major Viking remains were uncovered immediately south of Coppergate during demolition of a cinema and the Cravens confectionery factory.
Coppergate Shopping Centre opened in 1984, built over the buildings that had been demolished on the site.
Coppergate's listed buildings include Galtres Chambers and the 16th-century Three Tuns pub. Two further structures, 26 Coppergate and 28-32 Coppergate, have origins in the 15th century.
Before Viking York re-occupied the site in the 9th century, the ground at Coppergate lay outside Roman York's walls as a glass-making district. It was abandoned after the Roman period ended.
