Cabmen's Shelter, Ripon green plaque

Cabmen's Shelter This rare shelter by Boulton & Paul of Norwich was provided in 1911 through a legacy of £200 by Sarah Carter, a former Mayor's daughter, for use by cabmen waiting for fares in the Market Place. By 1982, when acquired by Cllr R Simpson and passed on to this Society, it was badly deca

yed and has twice since been extensively restored. In 1999 this Society gave it back to Ripon City Council.
