English: Ferry House, Little Reedness, East Riding of Yorkshire, England. Former inn at Little Reedness, an early 18th century house with tie bars dated 1778, now a private house.
During its history it has been variously known as The Angel Inn, The Ferry Inn and Ferryman's Cottage, with a boathouse by the road on the river side occasionally functioning as a makeshift mortuary for bodies pulled from the River Ouse.
Local tradition holds that the body of a murderer executed at York was hung in a gibbet by the yard to the south on Church Lane.
