King's Staith has a long and rich history as a major wharf and landing place on the River Ouse. Constructed in 1366, it served as the city's primary quay for landing various goods, including corn, wheat, and coal, until the early 20th century. The staith's name, meaning "King's landing place," suggests its importance in royal visits and activities. The street frequently floods, and the floodwater levels are marked inside the King's Arms pub.
