Pickering Market Place in 1886. The two
boys in the foreground are Masters
Parkinson and Trousdale. The Spirit Vault,
owned by Scarborough and Whitby Breweries,
was built as a bank in 1868. It later
became a corn merchants and barber's shop
before being demolished for road
improvements in 1958. Note the round water
pump to the left. The old Shambles, at the
top of Pickering Market Place, were
demolished in 1857 and the Vaults built on
the site in 1868. The building was
conveyed from The Crown to Pickering Urban
District Council in 1950.
