Yarborough Terrace no longer exists. It was a picturesque area somewhere in the town centre. It may have been on Frederick Tennyson’s land somewhere near where Freshney Place is today. Can anyone help with the exact location?
Update: Yarborough Terrace was built on land once occupied by Clayton Hall which was in Baxter Gate East. The location is inside where Grimsby’s Freshney Place Shopping Place is today i.e. Baxtergate Mall. Clayton Walk links Friargate Mall with Freshney Square/Baxtergate Mall.
Clayton Hall was pulled down in Victorian times and a block of buildings named Yarborough Terrace occupied the same site. Immediately opposite stood a fine row of trees before which a town pump once stood.
See the old prints of Clayton Hall and Baxter Gate on this site.
The trees in the photo above are where the present day HSBC bank is located. To the left of the trees is a snicket (an alley) which led to Clayton Street at the back. The alley remained in the building of the precinct as many may remember it led into the precinct and to Woolworths and the Wimpey. To the right of the alley is the Old Queen’s Head pub. Clayton Hall stood opposite where the NatWest Bank stands.
