This building has a remarkably complex history. It started life in the late 19th century as Foxton’s Mews. Behind this frontage there was a large courtyard surrounded by two storey buildings; some of the stables were at first floor level. W. Foxton & Son operated horse charbancs as well as carriages. E H Robinson who took over altered it to house their motor charabancs – they traded as Scarborough & District, White Coach Tours & Royal Blue Coaches. Between January 1929 and April 1935 Vine Street depot was leased jointly by West Yorkshire Road Car Company & East Yorkshire Motor Services; buses went in at the back and came out through the large central door you can see. They did not renew the lease.The building them became car showrooms and finally auction rooms
