Chartered Surveyors In WETHERBY

The market town of Wetherby has been a major intersection and staging post for travelers for centuries, as a midway point between London and Edinburgh and situated on what was the ‘Great North Road’ and is now the modern A1.

The convenience of its transport links, coupled with its proximity to major cities such as Leeds and York, make it a popular place for people to put down roots and invest in commercial premises.

The town’s history goes back as far as the Domesday Book of 1086, in which it is referred to as ‘Wedrebi’; the Knights Templar rank among its previous property owners and Wetherby Bridge, which spans the River Wharfe, is a Scheduled Ancient Monument and Grade II listed structure.

Given its past as a stopping-off point for travellers, Wetherby features a plethora of former coaching inns and in 2018 was listed in the Sunday Times ‘Best Places to Live in Northern England’ report.

Its economy features some manufacturing, including Goldenfry Foods, which originated as a fish and ship shop and now makes products including gravy, and multinational IT reseller ICC Group; and other large employers include Morrisons and the British Library.
