East Riding of Yorkshire Council is set to trial pedestrianising part of Beverley’s Saturday Market this month as a result of positive feedback from early consultation undertaken in summer 2020.
The trial, which starts from Monday, 10 May, will see the area between The Grapes pub and the King’s Head pedestrianised to create an area where people can socially distance, as well as providing an opportunity for outdoor seating areas.
In April a new plaque at the Bar House replaced the former one, which was in memory of Fred Elwell RA, but made no mention of his wife, Mary Dawson Holmes Elwell, who was also a very good painter including many Beverley scenes.
Plans to pedestrianise a part of Beverley’s Saturday Market have moved a step forward thanks to a successful funding bid from the Department of Transport’s Active Travel Fund.
The popular Elwell Trail, which consisted of 22 reproductions of paintings by Fred or Mary Elwell displayed on external walls in various locations in or near Beverley town centre, has been extended by adding 6 new works. These include three by Mary Elwell, two by Fred Elwell and one by Fred’s nephew Ken Elwell.

East Riding of Yorkshire Council’s museum’s service has worked in partnership with the Beverley Civic Society to produce a replacement for a dilapidated heritage board.
