Description
The garden wall, piers, gate, and railings to No. 6 The Crescent were likely built shortly after 1793. The structure is made of brown brick with ashlar coping. It features five panelled ashlar piers that have moulded cornices and shallow conical caps. There are a few cast iron railings topped with spear finials, as well as one cast iron gate with spear finials.
The Crescent was developed in the last decade of the 18th century and the early 19th century, positioned opposite Selby Abbey as an upscale area similar to Lansdowne Crescent in Bath. It runs along the road connecting the town center to New Street and the Selby Toll Bridge, which was completed in 1792. Park House, which later became No. 6 The Crescent, along with its garden wall, was constructed shortly after 1793 by James Audus the elder, a notable ship-owner.
