St Paul's Square is York's only "square", built c1855 and consisting of three storeyed terraced houses built in an elongated crescent surrounding a private central garden of lawn, shrubs and mature trees. Originally this section, south of Watson Terrace (previously Belgrave Street), connecting the square to Holgate Road, was called St Paul's Road, but by the time of the 1962 1:1,250 map it was shown as an extension of St Paul's Square, with the houses numbered accordingly. Nos 38 - 39, the building on the right of the photo, is of the same era as the main square and is grade II listed - see www.historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1256753. Despite appearances, no 39a, on the left of the photo, is modern, planning permission only having been granted until around 2010 for building on what previously had been a garden.
