The Avenue, Starbeck
Image: © Gordon Hatton Taken: 29 Mar 2018
At the time of its development, which was around 1890/1900, this was one of the more desirable streets in the growing suburb of Starbeck, with stone built terraced villas to the left and brick built to the right. Starbeck grew initially as a separate community to Harrogate, being halfway between that developing spa town and Knaresborough. The railway reached here before a line was built into Harrogate and workers houses spread around a railway workshop area. Attempts to compete with Harrogate for spa facilities never came to fruition despite there being spa baths here offering sulphur treatment.
