Now the Halifax, the white building next to the Town Hall has a Ripon Civic Society plaque on it stating "On this site once stood the home of Hugh Ripley, the last Wakeman (1604) and the first Mayor of Ripon (1605). In the 1730s the celebrated architect Sir William Chambers spent his boyhood here. It was the main Post Office from 1860 to 1906 and later for about 30 years became the popular Lawrence Restaurant and Ballroom."
