  • Beverley Road Conservation Area Character Appraisal
    Beverley Road Conservation Area Character Appraisal November 2013 BEVERLEY ROAD CONSERVATION AREA CHARACTER APPRAISAL 1. Summary 1.1 Beverley Road has been an important road since medieval times. In the early 19th century the southern end began to attract suburban development of houses with long front gardens. The gardens and trees still help to offset the urban character. Later the area attracted business and shopping uses. It also attracted some fine public buildings, especially from the late Victorian era. 1.2 The Conservation Area can be divided into 4 character areas which are, south to north: • The ‘City Centre Approach’ area, characterised by early houses with classical details and front gardens, later shops and business uses associated with the location near the city centre and on a main road, and some attractive mature trees. • The ‘Stepney Village’ area, characterised by built frontages close to the back of pavement which narrow the vista, and small simple shop buildings. • The ‘Park and Queens Road’ area, characterised by large houses, some good public buildings and an avenue of mature trees. • The ‘St John’s Wood’ suburban area, characterised by shopping parades of late Victorian and Edwardian 3-storey buildings often with decorative gables. 1.3 Positive characteristics of the area include: • Many individual buildings and terraces of buildings of architectural, historic and local interest, and which contribute to the streetscape. • Architectural features, especially in timber and decorative brickwork. Features at roof level which indicate corners are especially significant. • Greenery associated with gardens, landscaping and trees. • An evening economy of late opening shops, pubs, clubs, restaurants and takeaways, although this is subject to the vagaries of fashion.

  • The Highways and Byways of the East Riding Enclosuresenclosures Andand Droversdrovers
    The highways and byways of the East Riding EnclosuresEnclosures andand DroversDrovers Introduction Historically there have been times when a concerted effort was made to design and maintain roads. For example the Romans built straight roads between their forts and towns primarily for military purposes. However in rural areas, such as the East Riding of Yorkshire, roads usually grew up in an ad hoc fashion. They linked the places where people lived and worked and avoided difficult physical features such as boggy ground, rocky outcrops, rivers and trees. Gradually within our area there emerged three distinct phases of road development: drovers’ roads, turnpike roads and enclosure roads. Drovers’ roads were largely independent of other road systems. They were originally ‘green’ earth roads which avoided most settlements. Many still remain, particularly in upland parts of our region, although most now have a narrow strip of tarmac for motor vehicles. For many years responsibility for the maintenance of roads fell to local parishes, a duty which was fulfilled with variable enthusiasm. In 1667 Parliament passed a Turnpike Act which allowed entrepreneurs to build roads and charge travellers for passage to cover the costs involved and hopefully to turn a profit. By the end of the 18th century a reasonable road system was in place even though the principles of road building had not developed much since Roman times and upkeep was expensive and patchy. Between 1750 and 1860 the strips of land in open fields were enclosed into more efficient units. This was done by local Acts of Parliament – the Enclosure Acts – some five thousand in all.
