4-12, PARK STREET

PARK STREET 1. (west side) 5342 ----------- Nos 4 to 12 (even) SE 6132 SE 5/34 11.12.68

II GV

1. Probably begun soon after April 1793; when James Audus the elder, a prominent local shipowner, took a lease from the 9th Lord Petre, the Lord of the Manor of Selby, of the site of the Abbey Gatehouse; which he then took down in connection with his development of The Crescent, to which Park Street is clearly the complement. An alternative date is circa 1832, at which time Park Street became the beginning of the Bawtry Turnpike, formerly running from New Lane. Brown brick. Pitched slate roof. Two storeys. Parapet. Continuous first floor sill. Three bays each, sashes with glazing bars, and rusticated stucco voussoirs. Doors with fielded panels, panelled reveals and semi-circular fanlights: wooden surrounds with panelled pilasters, and consoles above impost level to plain cornices (Nos 6 and 8), modillioned pediments (Nos 4 and 12), and flat hood on scrolled brackets with drop finials (No 10). No 10 has mid C19 ground floor bay.
