Full Description
Formerly Pipkins Nursery, the stone arcade which stands along Fulford Road was once part of York Theatre Royal circa 1835. Believed to have been designed by architect John Harper, the three-stone arches formed part of a colonnade for the newly built York Theatre Royal. In 1879, the theatre underwent remodelling, removing much of the original fabric, which included the colonnade. The arches were salvaged by local merchant Isaac Poad to decorate the front of his new stable and coach house complex on Fulford Road. The arches are a unique element to the streetscape along Fulford Road.
