York Place is one of the streets which developed in the early 19th century outside the medieval defences as Scarborough expanded as a high class resort and spa town. These buildings date from 1835-40. The first six are in sandstone ashlar, the rest in a silver-grey brick. Unfortunately 20th century shop fronts have interrupted the rhythm of the bows, though the second and third stone ones have had the ground floor bow windows reinstated in the last few years. No 16 carries a blue plaque to the artist Henry Barlow Carter; see Image
