It benefits from a town bypass constructed in 2004. 2.13 There has been a settlement at Selby since Roman times and the founding of The Abbey, due to its wealth and its position as lords of the manor of Selby, promoted the town’s economic and physical growth, shaping it into a well-developed regional centre and market town, and small inland port. 2.14 The Abbey defines the present layout of the town centre, with the Market Place located directly outside the entrance to the Abbey and Micklegate probably the main manufacturing focus of the town. 2.15 The port of Selby developed to serve wool industries of West Yorkshire and the rise of the cotton industry, as well as being known for ship building. The opening of the canal and the Leeds to Selby turnpike road and the first toll bridge over the Ouse improved communications by land, making Selby a significant port for people as well as goods. The construction of rail lines to Leeds and Hull and becoming part of the north-east mainline meant the economy remained buoyant. By the mid to late 20 th century traditional industries within the town were in decline and recent decades have seen the closure of the final ship yard. 2.16 The legacy of this age defines the present town as much as its medieval street layout. The majority of its historic and listed buildings and the conservation areas date from this period. 2.17 The town is finding a new commercial and residential focus as well as the opening of shopping precincts within the town centre. There are a number of key employers in the town and visitors are attracted by the Abbey, markets, leisure centre and the traditional town park. 2.18 Recent high quality environmental improvements in the town through the Renaissance Programmes, for example in the Market Place and along the historic waterfront have added to the existing high quality of the town which is already attracting new economic investment. Selby town supports around 6000 jobs. Tadcaster 2.19 The ancient market town of Tadcaster (with just over 6000 population) is situated on the River Wharfe between Leeds (15 miles to the west) and York (10 miles to the east), on the A659 and bypassed by the A64. 2.20 Originally named Calcaria (place of limestone) by the Romans, it was initially a small settlement, serving as a resting place for travellers and a staging post on the London to York road. It is surrounded by attractive rolling countryside and is the local service hub for its surrounding communities. The market in the town was initiated in 1270 and is held every Thursday in the Social Club car - 19 -
