Burgate, Pickering

Milliner's House is an historic property situated on pretty Burgate, the street which connects Pickering's marketplace to its impressive castle. Thought to have medieval origins, the house now preserves its Georgian appearance. It was extended and converted into a shop in the early Victorian era when it was bought by a spinster, Margaret Spence, for her millinery and corsetry business. Some of the old shop fittings are still in evidence on the ground floor. The house is now offered to the market after an extensive, sympathetic and thoughtful modernisation
