Full Description
Believed to have been built around the mid-Victorian era, The Gimcrack Hotel and Coach house is a villa situated along the Fulford Road conservation area. Originally a private residence called Ousefield, it opened as a public house in 1936 with connections to the horse racing around the area. The building operated as such until 2002, despite local opposition. Made of white brick with hipped roof slate, the Victorian villa adds elegance to the area. Since its closure, the Gimcrack Hotel has been converted back into residential use but still has retained its previous elegance and connection to horse racing through a pub sign that has been renamed Fulford Chase.
