HISTORICAL NOTE: the building was designed for the dual
functions of terminus shelter and battery re-charging station
for electrobuses introduced into the City in 1915 and operated
to Heworth until 1920. In 1922 permission was granted for the
conversion of the building to tobacco and sweet kiosk. York
was one of only eight towns in Britain to run battery operated
electrobuses.
