The Historic Cabmens Shelter Market Place Ripon Town Centre North Yorkshire England
The Ripon Cabmen's Shelter made a welcome return to the Market Square last November, it now stands in pride of place fully restored to its original condition. After many years absence, the Edwardian Cabmen's Shelter was returned to its rightful place on the newly completed Square, which enhances the Market Square even further. The Cabmen's shelter is used for information on five Ripon City walking trails. This rare shelter by Boulton & Paul of Norwich was provided in 1911 through a legacy of £200 by Sarah Carter, a former Mayor's daughter, for use by cabmen waiting for fares in the Market Place. By 1982, when acquired by Cllr R Simpson and passed on to this society, it was badly decayed and has twice since been extensively restored. In 1999 this Society gave it back to Ripon City Council.
