OUSEGATE
No 38
GV
II
Mid C19. Red brick. Pitched slate roof. Two storeys. Paired brackets to eaves. Four first-floor windows with moulded lintels. Shop-front with Tuscan pilasters and entablature with dentilled cornice.
The name Ousegate may have a Viking origin, as the suffix ‘gate’ is derived from the old Norse word ‘gatta’ meaning street. Ousegate is the historic riverfront street of Selby and remained an important area of commercial activity, after the opening of the Selby Canal in 1778, and the completion of the Selby Toll Bridge in 1792. A map dating to 1848 shows that the former burgage plot to the rear of 38 Ousegate was once totally built over by a terrace of three properties, a small enclosed yard, and a rectangular garden, all accessed by a passageway to one side of the shop. With minor changes this arrangement remained until about 1980, when most of these buildings were demolished and the garden became part of the car park serving the Church Lane/Gant Walk housing development.
