[119926] Pickering : Liberal Club & Market Cross

Liberal Club, 1 Smiddy Hill, Pickering, North Yorkshire, 1909.

Unlisted.

 

Built on the site of two cottages which had become the club's first home, the foundation stone was laid in 1908 by Cllr John Snowden, a well-known Pickering personality and the club was formally opened by the town's MP JE Ellis on November 17 1909. At a time when Pickering had far fewer facilities than today, the club provided a much appreciated meeting place, not only for the Liberal Party but for many other organisations.

 

Market Cross, Smiddy Hill, c1911.

Unlisted.
