Yorke Arms, Ramsgill: BU00763
Inns were a vital part of the coaching network. They provided refreshments and lodgings for passengers, as well as stabling and changing the horses that pulled the coaches. Even though the coaching era was ended by the advent of the railways, many coaching inns still survive today, such as the Yorke Arms and Golden Fleece.
