ACOMB

Site	Address	Date	Description
Coach House	Millgates View on map	1849	Enlarge Constructed as a gentleman’s residence originally called Acomb Park House, it comprised two floors with five bay windows. At one time it was the BIG house in Acomb, and believed to have been owned by Victorian tycoon Montague Burton, who founded the Burton clothes retail empire. Its grounds stretching down to the river. Subsequently used as a nursing home. The main house was demolished in c.2008 by York Housing Association to provide affordable housing. The coach house remains, although converted as housing, and is in its original form.
The Marcia Grey Public House	Front Street View on map	c.1900	Enlarge A purpose-built public house replacing an earlier pub on the same site known as The Square and Compasses. By 1817 its name had been changed to The Marcia after a favourite York racehorse. Due to the colour of the racehorse, between 1823 and 1838 it was named The Grey Mare. By 1843 the name had been changed back to The Marcia, sometimes referred to as The Grey Marcia. In the early twentieth century, it was rebuilt on a larger scale and for a short while it was known as The Poacher. For decades it provided the base for a range of sporting clubs and teams in Acomb and thus has a strong link with the social history of the village. It is also aesthetically significant as it provides a notable architectural feature on Front Street. (HER no. MYO4019)

BISHOPTHORPE

Site	Address	Date	Description
31-35 Main Street	Bishopthorpe View on map	18/19th century	The village butcher's shop including the slaughterhouse and living quarters known as the Walnut House on Main Street is a familiar landmark in Bishopthorpe. The business was started by George Scholey upon his arrival in 1869 and passed down through generations. The butcher shop is a valued local amenity which gives character to the conservation area thanks to its pleasant blue and white painted frontage. It is also of interest as a rare survival of a long-established butcher's business in the village. (HER no. MYO4020)
No 8, 10, 12, First School House	School Lane, Bishopthorpe View on map	1763	The first schoolhouse in Bishopthorpe was built in 1763, designed by John Crosby for Archbishop Drummond, on a site known as Lord’s Waste. This was replaced with a brick-and-slate school building in 1815. Archbishop Harcourt commissioned the school to be rebuilt in 1846 to provide a girls’ school and residence for a schoolmaster and mistress. As the population grew, a fourth classroom was added around forty years later. It has since been converted into three residential units. It holds high historic and communal value and demonstrates the improvement of education in the area. (HER no. MYO4021)
The Archbishop of York School	School Lane & Main Street, Bishopthorpe View on map	1846	The school was built by Archbishop Harcourt on manorial land in 1846, close to the original school house which he repurposed for a girls’ school the same year. It was used as a schoolhouse until 1967 when the York’s CE Junior School was built. It still has considerable community use for playgroups, various school clubs and scouts. It is of historic importance, standing at a significant position on the main approach to Bishopthorpe from the A64. (HER no. MYO4022)

Site	Address	Date	Description
Electrobus station	Clifton Green View on map		Enlarge Standing in front of Clifton Green, the Electrobus Station is a small building used for charging battery-powered buses which operated between Clifton and Stockton Lane from 1915 to 1923. It was later used as a police box, a bus shelter as well as a public toilet. Due to vandalism, it was put on the market and in 2011 it opened as a barber’s shop named The Gents. It is an important reminder of York’s historic transport system and a valued local amenity. (HER no. MYO4011)

The wing retains exceptionally fine fixtures and fittings designed by Brierley. The building has high historical and evidential value due to its association with two highly regarded York architects and for its connection with a local personality prominent in the late Victorian cultural life of the City.

Mounting Block, Dunnington	No 13 Kiln Cottage View on map		Enlarge Located at the junction between Common Road and Water Lane, the mounting block is an object unique to the village and holds both local and historical importance. Mounting blocks were once used to mount and dismount from horses until the late 18th century. With the location of the mounting block being near the Village Cross, it could suggest this area of the village marked the entrance/exit to the centre of the village. The mounting block is also situated within Dunnington conservation area. (HER no. MYO4094)
The Greyhound Pub, Dunnington	York Street View on map	19c	Enlarge The pharmacy in Dunnington was once known as The Greyhound pub and is located within the Dunnington Conservation Area. This 19th century building has a gated carriage entrance to the left of the property and is rendered. There are four Georgian-styled 16 pane sash windows along the upper floor of the property and two modern bay windows have been added to the ground floor either side of the entrance. The fanlight above the doorway has a simple design which complements the sash windows. With the pub closing down in 2014, the village lost a social asset, however, the pharmacy use perpetuates the building's communal value. The first floor of the building has been converted into flats. (HER no. MYO4095)
Road Bridge, Dunnington	York Street View on map	1910/13	Brick, built over old rail track bed. Adds interest and character to access into village. Only remaining structure of the village’s association with the Derwent Valley Light Railway. (HER no. MYO4096)

Methodist Church, Dunnington	Common Road View on map	1868	Enlarge Located on Common Road, the Methodist Church was built in 1868 to replace an older Wesleyan Methodist church on York Street. The church represents an increase in Quaker followers during the late 19th and early 20th century within the village. An interesting and visually attractive building, the church has twelve Gothic-styled sash windows, six on either side of the front elevation. The church still serves the village today with regular services and events and is within the village conservation area. (HER no. MYO4100)
Large Barn, Dunnington	Eastfield Lane View on map	Early 19c	This agricultural building sets an historic tone to the entry to the village from Church Balk. Of English garden wall brickwork it is a visible reminder of Dunnington’s farming past. (HER no. MYO4101)
School Bell, Dunnington	Petercroft Lane View on map	?1836	Mounted on a wall near the roof of the new Doctor’s Surgery. An interesting piece of village history which adds character to the village setting. (HER no. MYO4102)

Brick-on-end lintels over openings. Exposed stone boulder foundations. Clay pantile roof. Wood casement windows (Dunlea) wood simulated vertical hung sash type windows (Virginia). (HER no. MYO4107)
Laurel Cottage, Holtby	Main Street East, Holtby View on map		Enlarge Laurel Cottage is a two-storey detached house located on Holtby Lane, Holtby. The architectural type of the cottage is Vernacular, which is one of two architectural styles within the village and is typical of older (circa 18th century) and small to medium houses and cottages in the area, suggesting the cottage is older. The cottage was built with local clamp brick and the chimney stacks are dentilled. The dormer windows are set half into the roof space of the cottage, which makes this is a stand out feature as no other cottage has this particular feature. The roof is Welsh Dark slate, which became popular in the 19th century when transport became more accessible and is typically used on newer buildings at the time. This suggests that either the cottage was built during the 19th century or the owners at the time were able to afford new slate roofing. The cottage is located within the village's conservation area and adds to the village street view. (HER no. MYO4108)
Holtby House	Main Street East, Holtby View on map	1840/60	Enlarge Large Polite two storey detached house in commanding position overlooking Main Street.

DRINGHOUSES AND WOODTHORPE

Site	Address	Date	Description
Ashfield House	York Technical College View on map	c1850	Originally named the Ash Tree Farm, the large house and extensive gardens were built for George Swann, a banker in a much respected York firm in 1842. The name was changed to Ashfield House when it was sold on auction in 1873. The auction brochure describes the house as very attractive and valuable, with 4 reception rooms and 13 bedrooms. In the 20th century, it was the home of the Lycett Greens. The whole estate became the property of York Corporation in 1943 and served as billeting quarters for the RAF. Most recently it was the property of York College who greatly altered the interior of the house. It is one of two remaining large Victorian properties in Dringhouses (there were originally four). It has high aesthetic value due to its significant style including the Fox weather vane and historic value due to its association with prominent York families. (HER no. MYO4026)
Aldersyde Cottage & Stable Cottage	Ancillary cottages to Aldersyde House View on map	1895	Aldersyde House is an English Heritage-listed grand house designed by W.G Penty’s son Arthur and considered his first important work. The two cottages down Old Moor Lane have the same architectural features, weather vane, windows, chimneys etc. and are probably by the same architects, Penty & Penty. The old fernery, which is contemporary with the house is now physically separate from the main house with a separate vehicular access from Old Moor Lane to the south. The fernery is itself considered to be curtilage Listed, due to its association with the main house and conservatory. The building is in a poor state of repair, although it retains much of its original historic fabric and interest, albeit it has been substantially altered through the installation of the new roof covering. Internally, the building is open plan, with some of the original roof structure, including weights and balances and mechanical openings still visible. (HER no. MYO4027)
Dringhouses Primary School	St. Helen’s Road View on map	1903/4	The original school in Dringhouses opened in 1848. However, due to overcrowding by the end of the century, the school had to be moved. Thus Dringhouses School Board was formed in 1901 by order of the Board of Education and in the same year the management of the school was taken over by the Board. The new school building was designed by W. H. Brierley and was opened in 1904 on a site at the end of Mayfield Grove, adjacent to the railway. There was accommodation for 120 in the mixed school and 100 in the infants' school. Since then much of the building has been altered on the Mayfield Grove side with new, modern amenities being added. The primary school remains important to the local community and has aesthetic and historic value, being linked to a notable York architect. (HER no. MYO4028)
1, St Helen's Road	St Helen’s Road View on map	c 1910	Between 1920 and 1946, the house next to The Cross Keys car park in St Helen's Road was the clubhouse for the 15-hole golf course on nearby Hob Moor. The former pavilion of the Kavesmire Club was used as a ‘clubhouse’ when it was taken over by the York Railway Institute Golf Club. The Knavesmire Club, later moved to Strensall, however, the railway workers who used to play at Hob Moor moved to Pike Hills Golf Club. It has since been turned into a residential property retaining its original veranda and long room at the front of the building. It has communal value, being the last remainder of golf being played in Knavesmire. (HER no. MYO4029)
Fox & Roman Public House and outbuildings (originally The Fox)	Tadcaster Road View on map	1900	Enlarge There has been a pub on this site since at least 1822, originally known as the Fox Hotel. The present building by Samuel Needham was built for the Tadcaster Brewery Company in 1900. The name was changed to Fox & Roman to commemorate a Roman grave found on the site in 1998. The building still retains original internal and external features, like the half-timbered frontage and balustraded balcony. The outbuildings with original half doors, were formerly used for stabling racehorses. The public house has great historic significance due to its association with the races, and unique evidential value through its association with Roman remains. It is still a favoured communal asset. (HER no. MYO4030)
Cross Keys Public House – Outbuildings	Tadcaster Road View on map	Early 18c	Enlarge Remains of once extensive stabling. Evidence of the importance of Dringhouses to the racing world. There has been an inn on this site since before 1250
Springbank, 128 Tadcaster Road	Tadcaster Road View on map	1924	The grand house with extensive gardens was designed in 1924 by A.J. Penty for Mr T. Shouksmith, the longest-serving chairman of a prominent York engineering company. The original drawings of the building are in the Brierly Archive at the Borthwick Institute. The house has aesthetic value, framing the Tadcaster Road Conservation area and historic value, being linked to a prominent York architect. (HER no. MYO4031)

Marriott Hotel (Swallows Hotel)	Tadcaster Road View on map	1876	Enlarge The hotel was originally constructed in 1876 as a residential building for the York businessman and alderman John Close, who required his house to be close to the new Railway Station. Nicknamed ‘The Hollies’, the house overlooks the racecourse and Knaversmire and soon earned the tile of the gateway to York as well as became the terminus for the Dringhouses tramline. It was first transformed into The Harkers Hotel in 1927 before being renamed the Chase Hotel in 1948 and most recently it was acquired by Marriott International in 2001. Many original features of the house remain, such as the Close family horse stables that are now the hotel’s management centre. The rear garden contains elements of the original design with path edges and steps in wrought iron. The landmark building signifies the development of the Dringhouses area and has great historic value, being linked to an influential York family. (HER no. MYO4033)
Part of St. Leonard’s Hospice	Tadcaster Road View on map	Pre 1889	Enlarge St. Leonard’s Hospice has incorporated the ancillary buildings (cottage and stable) of a large late-Victorian house named ‘Dringthorpe’. The grand house was home to many affluent middle-class families, before becoming a school for the blind in 1950. The main house was demolished in 1965 and St. Leonard’s Hospice was built on part of the grounds, with the rest of the grounds later used for residential development. The surviving cottage and stable block give an impression of the main house, with ornate chimneys, roof tiles and bargeboards. The buildings hold high aesthetic and historic value, increasing our understanding of the area and acting as reminders of the lost Victorian villa. (HER no. MYO4034)
Circular Iron Fence at St Leonard's Hospice	St Leonard's Hospice, Tadcaster Road View on map	Pre 1892	St. Leonard’s Hospice has incorporated the ancillary buildings (cottage and stable) of a large late-Victorian house named ‘Dringthorpe’. The grand house was home to many affluent middle-class families, before becoming a school for the blind in 1950. The main house was demolished in 1965 and St. Leonard’s Hospice was built on part of the grounds, with the rest of the grounds later used for residential development. The surviving cottage and stable block give an impression of the main house, with ornate chimneys, roof tiles and bargeboards. The buildings hold high aesthetic and historic value, increasing our understanding of the area and acting as reminders of the lost Victorian villa. (HER no. MYO4034)
Wind pump tower	Moor Lane	19c	There is little remaining evidence of the buildings connected with the brickwork sites in Dringhouses. The Wind Pump Tower with some internal planking by Pearcy’s Pond is the sole remaining structure from these days. The tower would have had sails similar to a windmill and operated a water pump to keep the clay workings dry. All the Claypits used these windpumps and can be seen on maps as late as the 1930s. The flooded claypits and their surroundings now provide valuable havens for wildlife and recreational areas for locals. The site holds high historic significance due to being a rare example of the brickmaking industry in the area. (HER no. MYO4035)
No. 92 Tadcaster Road	View on map	c1892	The detached house along Tadcaster Road with square bay windows and decorative wall tile hanging was built in the 1890s. The vertical tile hanging style was used widely in the late 19th and early 20th century under the influence of the Arts & Crafts movement and the Queen Anne revival, mainly in South-Eastern England. The building lines the Tadcaster Road conservation area and is a good and rare example of this craft in Dringhouses. (HER no. MYO4037)
Methodist Chapel	Tadcaster Road	1896	Methodism was introduced locally in 1816 and the original Methodist Chapel was built in 1834 on the corner of Slingsby Road and Tadcaster Road. This was replaced by a larger building, known as Dringhouses Chapel in 1890 on the same site. It later became part of the new, enlarged York, Wesley Circuit of the Methodist Connexion. The chapel was closed in 1954 and the congregation transferred to the new West Thorpe Chapel on West Thorpe Road. It has since been turned into an office space, however, it is still recognisable and has high social-historic value due to its religious connections. (HER no. MYO4038)
Racing Stables	Tadcaster Road View on map	1922/1930	Four quadrangles of 48 stables each along Tadcaster Road were constructed by the York Race Committee from 1922 to 1930 and are still in use. Two to the East was designed by renowned York architect W. H. Brierley in 1929 and remains his only example of this type of building. One stable to the SW contains a bowling green used by Dringhouses Bowling Club, opened by Noel Terry in 1929. Some original fittings remain although most of the stable doors were replaced when Royal Ascot came to York. The stables were a designated mortuary in WW2, commemorated by a plaque. They are of historic significance due to their connection to the racecourse and have high community value being home to a historic bowling club.
Astonthorpe House, No.s 308-312	Tadcaster Road View on map	1901-1905	Enlarge The traditional late Victorian townhouse built in the early 20th century is a notable rare local example of the work of the Arts and Crafts architect Fred Rowntree, the second cousin of Seebohm Rowntree. The building is of pale brick with red brick dressings and stone-mullioned windows and contains a grand staircase. The townhouse has had sympathetic extensions, as it was used as an office space in the late 20th century and later converted into flats. Along with No. 310 and 312 Tadcaster Road, the houses are fine examples of turn-of-the-century English domestic architecture. Together they mark the extension of the City of York adding character along Tadcaster Road towards the village of Dringhouses. (HER no. MYO4039)
Knavesmire & Hob Moor boundary fence	Tadcaster Road View on map		Hob Moor and Knavesmire were ancient pastures of the city: their low-lying, marshy nature probably prevented any early settlement, thus they were used as common grazing land, where freemen of the city were able to exercise their rights to pasturage. The boundaries of the two strays were first accurately surveyed in the 1850s. The surveyors found the boundary along Hob Moor Lane undefined, thus drawing a straight line along it to the Tyburn and south along Tadcaster Road to a boundary stone at what was then called Tyburn Lane. The white-painted secure boundary complete with wide gates and kissing gates was a later addition. The historical boundaries play a key role in explaining the development of the area and enhancing local distinctiveness. It is a reminder of the land's original use, as the strays were used for grazing until the 1960s. (HER no. MYO4040)
No 1 Railway View	Railway View View on map		In the 1920s there were already two taverns in Dringhouses, but despite the villager's objection, William Wilkinson was granted a licence to open a third one, naming it the Turf Tavern. Due to the complaints about the noise and disturbance from the residents at The Hollies, the tavern was forced to move in 1897. The reopened Turf Tavern occupied the newly built end of a terrace on Railway View. It was popular with the locals and due to the number of new housing developments it became too small to cater for everyone. Thus the Tavern moved again in the mid-1950s to Thanet Road and was eventually demolished in 2014 to make way for housing. No 1. Railway View became a greengrocery and later a corner shop until it was turned into a residential property in 1999. The building has historic and communal value due to its unique history and importance as a local tavern.
Group of cottages	Old Moor Lane View on map	19c	This group includes the signalman’s cottage for the level crossing named “Chaloner Whin Gate” which used to cross Moor Lane. They are part of railway history as the road was realigned when Moor Lane railway bridge was built, leaving a cul-de-sac. (HER no. MYO4042)

This was extended in the 1850s and a smith’s shop was added, to provide workshops for the newly formed North Eastern Railway Company. Around 1884 the building was raised and converted to provide the No.2 Locomotive Erecting Shop where the locomotives were repaired and sometimes constructed. The second block was purpose-built as No.1 Locomotive Erecting Shop in 1879. As the use of the educational facilities at the RI decreased and demand for physical activities increased, the redundant carriage-building shops were converted into a gymnasium in 1926. The old carriage works were predominantly used as a boxing ring but today they host nine wood-sprung badminton courts. These blocks of workshops are rare survivals of a considerably larger group of buildings which represent the development of the railway industry in York during the nineteenth century.

Along with the Station House and Engine Shop, it still holds historic and evidential value as a remnant of railway history and the villages’ links with the railway network. (HER no. MYO4128)
Station House & Engine Shop	Station Road Copmanthorpe	1860’s	Due to Copmanthorpe’s convenient location between York and Leeds, it was a busy location in the 19th and 20th centuries. The railway station opened in the 1850s, although there were only three trains a day in each direction. The original station was possibly designed by G. T. Andrews and included a bay window that afforded the Station Master a good view of the platforms and the line. The Station House once housed the station booking office, waiting room, as well as living accommodation. The service gradually improved and in 1903 a new station and a goods shed were built. Sadly the station closed to passenger traffic in 1959 and altogether in 1964. The 1903 alterations and extensions were demolished and the original Station House was converted into a private dwelling.

The building adds interest and aesthetic value to the conservation area and stands along a row of historic farmhouses that demonstrate the village’s agricultural past.
Royal Oak Public House	Main Street, Copmanthorpe View on map	Circa 1800	Enlarge It is a fine example of an 18C dwelling house in the heart of the village Conservation Area. Although its present appearance is from the nineteenth century, the earliest record of this property is from 1793 when it was a private dwelling owned by John Benson. At that time it would have had a blacksmith’s attached and a brew-house located in the low building at the southern end. It became a public house in 1830, later sold to the Tadcaster Tower Brewery in 1921. Some early documentary records show its name as the Oak Tree Inn, possibly derived from the emblem of Lord of the Manor. It has high aesthetic and evidential value and adds character to the Copmanthorpe village centre, being the final element of the group of buildings surrounding the twelfth-century church of St Giles. It has great community value, being the only pub in Copmanthorpe, making it an asset to the locals and central to life in the village community. (HER no. MYO4137)

The nomination is a landmark and focal point within the village. There is communal significance through the construction and preservation of a monument by local people, for local people, to remember lost members of the community. There is a degree of historic value due to the monument's relation to the World Wars, as well as some artistic value through the unusual design choice for the monument. (HER no. MYO4121).

Blue Beck House	View on map	1891-97	Enlarge Along with Verandah Cottages (also on York's Local Heritage List), Blue Beck House is one of few remaining buildings on the site of the now-demolished Clifton Hospital (of 1851, designed by George Gilbert Scott with William Bonython Moffatt, architects of national repute who worked prolifically in the asylum and workhouse fields). The wider, former hospital site is of importance due to it having been chosen for the new asylum as an airy, accessible site between Clifton Ings and Shipton Road, providing an extensive parkland setting. While the site has been lost due to extensive demolitions and unsympathetic redevelopment, the landscape of the site remains legible and distinctive in character; the extant buildings, including Blue Beck House, punctuate the landscape orientating and referencing the history of the site. Thought to have been the hospital's laundry, Blue Beck House was completed in 1891-7. The upper floors housed female inmates who worked in the laundry on the ground floor. Blue Beck House has intrinsic architectural quality which merits conservation. Designed by the firm of George Fowler Jones of York in red brick under slate roofs, the building adopts the English domestic revival architectural style, exemplified in its extensive stone dressings; mullion and transom windows with cast iron lights; timbered gables and attic storey to the hipped tower; and leaded ventilation cupola. The design and construction of the building is of high quality, great character, and possesses significant aesthetic design values; historical illustrative and associated values relating to its historic function and association with the hospital and Fowler Jones; and communal heritage values relating to the historic and current uses for health services.

Verandah Cottages	View on map	c.1860s-1870s	Enlarge Along with Blue Beck House (also on York's Local Heritage List), Verandah Cottages are among the few remaining buildings on the site of the now-demolished Clifton Hospital (of 1851, designed by George Gilbert Scott with William Bonython Moffatt, architects of national repute who worked prolifically in the asylum and workhouse fields). The wider, former hospital site is of importance due to it having been chosen for the new asylum as an airy, accessible site between Clifton Ings and Shipton Road, providing an extensive parkland setting. While the site has been lost due to extensive demolitions and unsympathetic redevelopment, the landscape of the site remains legible and distinctive in character; the extant buildings, including Verandah Cottages, punctuate the landscape orientating and referencing the history of the site. Verandah Cottages are likely to date from the 1860s-70s and provided family housing to members of staff of the Asylum. Designed in a cottage style with multiple gables, overhanging eaves, large modelled chimney stacks and detailing including finials and red brick dressings, they have an ornamental quality and of great charm and possess significant aesthetic design value. As a consequence of the heritage significance of Bluebeck House and Verandah Cottages identified, it is considered that both buildings qualify as non-designated heritage assets defined in the Planning Practice Guidance as “having a degree of significance meriting consideration in planning decisions”.

FISHERGATE

Site	Address	Date	Description
The Limes	135 Fulford Road View on map	1903	Enlarge The Limes is an Arts & Crafts styled Edwardian house along Fulford Road which is currently operating as a hotel. Built by a prominent local architectural firm, Penty & Penty, the house holds strong aesthetic and architectural significance. The front elevation is symmetrical with attractive brick, gable, and window detailing. Penty & Penty have several buildings within the city, all offering a similar Arts & Crafts aesthetic, making this group of buildings distinctive.

HAXBY AND WIGGINTON

Site	Address	Date	Description
Former Tannery / Farm, Wigginton	11-13 The Village, Wigginton View on map	From early 19thC	Enlarge The site of a historic farmstead/ tannery, representing a good survival of associated 19th-century buildings which are characterful remnants of a historic village farm (including a charming double-fronted cottage/barn in gardens). Largely intact evidential significance of an undeveloped farmstead plot. Subsequent histories as tannery, reversion to farming use, and finally the remodelling of the site in c.1970 with house by York-architect Ronald Sims give it additional layers of architectural, historical, community and townscape significance. (See The Buildings of England. Yorkshire: The North Riding (2023, p.739). While the tannery was demolished in 2023, the cottage/barn remains, providing now even-rarer evidential significance of the historic farmstead (HER no. MYO5293)

RAWCLIFFE AND CLIFTON WITHOUT

Site	Address	Date	Description
1-6 South Cottages	Shipton Road View on map	1911	Enlarge Locally listed due to the row of cottages’ architectural and historical significance as a work of the Brierley firm of the early C20 period, with characteristic architectural treatment of restrained brickwork with rusticated brick quoin embellishments for end gables, pitched roofs with oversailing eaves, and, originally, use of 'three over six' timber windows; particularly nice as a scheme of "married attendants" workers’ cottages and contrasting with Brierley’s more familiar large house and civic buildings output; and as a surviving component of the County Asylum estate. Having suffered from a few unsympathetic alterations (small extensions, insertion of French doors, PVC windows), the row's architectural character remains strong: internally, all the principal rooms face south, with service rooms on the north side; they are unusual in their T-shape and having two yards, north and south. The site of the cottages is hidden from the main Shipton Road and the arrangement of gardens on their south side which acts as the architectural "front", across which residents have rite of passage across each other’s property, giving a particular communal spirit to these buildings. The north side features little yards with fuel stores and acts, effectively, as the main entrances, with a common lane, and then garths facing across the lane. The landscape setting of the cottages is charming and likely relates to the cottages’ relationship with the former asylum; to the south, open land leading to an orchard (assumed to have been part of the asylum grounds). The setting has been diminished by encroaching, unsympathetic development of recent years, in particular the estate which was built on sale of the hospital site. The cottages have been cited in the revised version of North Yorkshire Pevsner, edited by Jane Grenville, as valuable assets. Their construction is recorded in the Clifton Hospital Archives at the Borthwick Institute and there is a plan of the elevation of the row with details filled in for No 1. (HER no. MYO5294)
