History

This Victorian property is part of a terrace of four houses built in the early 1890s by Frederick Ullathorne for his own family to live in. The family firm of TS Ullathorne (builders and stonemasons) worked on many local properties, including Selby Abbey. When the terrace was built Flaxley Road was still a quiet country lane, surrounded by fields and farmland. The name of the road recalls Selby's 18th and 19th century involvement in the flax-growing industry, which played a major part in the town's economy. (The flax and hemp theme continues in the name of nearby Hempbridge Farm).
