Summary
Friar's Garden shown on Horsley's Plan 1694. Area of garden not exact. Originally part of Dominican Friary (MYO4168). In 1380 the garden of the Friars Preachers was mentioned in a document. By the time of the Dissolution it was recorded as 1 acre (garden and orchard). In the 17th century it became a nursery garden which under the management of the Telford family became the most important in the north of England. The land was eventually sold to the Trustees to York and North Midland Railway and the York's first railway station was built in 1841.
