Look for Mark W. Jones's wonderful little book, A Walk Around the Snickelways. The lift doors are now fixed shut, but only with a flimsy metal bar each. it hosts teas that are open to the public.

It goes down internally in the convent, one end was found when the built the pub on the corner at micklegate bar, presumably the other went under blossom street. Again, if anyone else has heard this, or knows more, please share. From Roman roads to escape route for nuns, there's a whole network of tunnels and passageways beneath the city's surface that show how much the city has changed since its ancient beginnings. A resident's record of York and its changes. You used to be able to see the entrance to it beneath one of the platforms, apparently, though I don’t know if it’s still visible, or indeed still in use.

i did xmas work at the post office in my youth, worked in the basement on nights.. every few hours a train would come in, we’d walk down the corridor, get in a lift, and pop up on York Station, Platform 4…. It would I think have been under the road from the Convent and going under the no 20 site. Somewhere under here there was, and perhaps still is, a tunnel connecting the sorting office with the railway station platforms. Here, High Petergate winds into the center of the city from Bootham Bar, one of the oldest entrances to York. We also have a hermitage underneath the main road into town. Before we arrived in York, we'd read about the Barley Hall - a recently discovered medieval townhouse that had been lost in the middle of the medieval city of York. You can still access it but I don’t know who to ask for permission. In 2012, a section of a Roman road was discovered beneath the undercroft, believed to be an old backstreet that ran behind the Roman Basilica - where the current Minster sits. They led from a church gravestone and nostell priory all the way to the castle. From Roman roads to escape route for nuns, there's a whole network of tunnels and passageways beneath the city's surface that show how much the city has changed since its ancient beginnings. I was at All Saints school, behind the convention you go into the chapel and to the left of the altar, and behind the wall there is a priests escape hatch . I was a postman in the 80s. It's out of print but used copies are available. The Church Street sewers aren't the only hidden Roman networks in York. It's one of the oldest passageways in York and opens onto a snickelway known as Precentors Court where you'll be treated to a stunning view of York Minster. Thank you for this interesting post, it jogged my memory enough to get me out the house and to the station today to take some photos and try to remember more detail.
