Builder | William Ransom |
The properties in York Buildings originally had front gardens enclosed by railings, which were paved over in order to widen the carriageway in front (Brett mentioning that the Town Commissioners had approved this in 1841) and shop fronts installed by around 1875 (Cousins giving this later date for the shop fronts)[1][2]. There would appear to have been plans originally to name this side of the road (the other side being Wellington Place) York Street, however the Council rescinded the order giving the buildings that name in favour of one naming them their current name in 1854[3].
