Ripon's rare cabmen's shelter is back in place on Market Square.
The Grade II listed building, dating back to the days of horse-drawn hansom cabs and Hackney carriages, has been refurbished and re-installed at a cost of £22,000.
Apart from times of restoration work, the distinctive craftsman-built Edwardian structure has stood there for 109 years.
It was constructed in 1911 by Boulton and Paul of Norwich – the company that also built huts for Scott’s ill-fated Antarctic expedition of 1910-13.
Paid for with a £200 legacy from Sarah Carter, whose father was a former mayor of Ripon, the shelter has been restored on a number of occasions, including in 1980, when the city’s Royal Engineers fitted a wheeled chassis, so that it could be moved.
Councillor Andrew Williams, the leader of Ripon City Council, told the Stray Ferret:
