## Background (Wikipedia, CC BY-SA 4.0, shortened)

The Bonding Warehouse is a historic building in the city centre of York, England.
The building lies between Skeldergate and the southwest bank of the River Ouse. It was constructed in two sections: the northern block was built between 1872 and 1873, and the southern block in 1875. Both were designed by George Styan, surveyor to the city of York. It was originally known as the Bonded Warehouse and commissioned by York Corporation for customs house officials to store goods on which duty had not yet been paid.
In the 20th century, commercial traffic on the river declined, and the warehouse closed in 1958.
