Ellwood Court, YORK, YO10 4AL

A strange looking building on Fulford Road currently used as a nursery for infants. The building's frontage was at one time part of an arcade in front of the Theatre Royal in St Leonard's Place and dates from 1835. It was removed here in 1879, but for what purpose?

Victorian terrace first shown on the 1891 1:500 Town Plan when it was marked as part of Chelmsford Place. The row of arches on the left has an unusual history, coming originally from the York Theatre Royal, where a row of eight arches were included as part of a new façade to the theatre on to St Leonard's Place built in 1834 designed by the architect John Harper. The theatre was subsequently remodelled in 1879 and seven of the arches were relocated to create a decorative screen along the Fulford Road frontage of gardens to Manor House (now 73 Fulford Road off to the left of this photo, forming part of what is now called Saxon House), also including access to the coach houses of The Priory, a building on the opposite side of Fulford Road (see Image). In 1979 a four-storey block of flats, Ellwood Court, was built on the site of the Manor House gardens and it seems that the left hand section of the arches were removed then (if not before), leaving just the three remaining ones seen here (and a very short section of wall the other side of Ellwood Court). The remaining section of the site, including the coach houses, has seen various uses over the years, including a car store, car repair and cycle workshop for the coach houses and the addition of building behind the arches, which from 1992 housed a children's day nursery, "Pipkins". The whole site was sold in 2017 and proposals are in place for redevelopment, incorporating the arches, which were restored in 2020.

Large house on Fulford Road, built in 1876 by local seed merchant Isaac Poad (who that year bought the Fulford Grange estate from previous owner Ambrose Walker) as a wedding gift for one of his daughters. Alongside is the former St Margaret's Rectory, built at the same time. In 1930 it was sold to a Lily Jackson who converted it into a hotel, the York Priory, later extended to include the Rectory. The hotel closed in September 2021 and the buildings were converted back to housing.

A charming little lodge cottage of 1835 now surrounded by later housing. The lodge once stood at the entrance to Fulford Grange, but in the early 20th century the estate was developed for housing, leaving the Grange encircled by semis.
