It is owned by Ripon City Council following donation from the Civic Society. The Listed Building number is 1393142. It is a Grade 2 Listed Building. The reasons it is listed, are as follows:- It has a highly decorative Edwardian design dating from 1911. It is a nationally rare and well-preserved example of a cabmen's shelter, an important reminder of the importance of horse-drawn transport in the early C20, supplied by the well-known firm of Boulton and Paul of Norwich. The structure of the Shelter remains in good order after its full restoration in 2019, however general wear & tear and its exposure to the elements are evident on some of the external paintwork. This is most noticeable on the Southern Elevation where the entrance is located and more generally around the lower boards of the Shelter. - Our requirements Restoration of exterior paintwork specification: External paintwork to be rubbed down, remove all loose and flaking paint. Repair work to minor chips or gouges on the external structure. (see example in 'West Elevation Left Hand Side Damage' image in the Appendix 1) If required, reseal the horizontal joint between the vertical timber frame and the sill with an oil-based mastic to prevent water penetration. Prime all bare areas, apply one undercoat and coat gloss oil paint to match the existing colours. The work is to be completed with Cabman Shelter in-situ.
