"Þ" or the letter thorn used to be a part of the English alphabet and it sounded like "th". When the printing press came about in Germany, they really didn't use the 'th' sound so they didn't include it on their presses, and as a result people supplemented it with the letter Y.

That's why taverns have names like "ye old pub" it actually was meant to be read as "the old pub"
