Full Description
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.
