Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 27 Oct, 06:08 · Archive
Plans to convert a former Japanese Print Shop in York into The Old York Cake Shop have advanced with a new signage application.
An application has been lodged with York council to install two hanging signs on the former Japanese Print Shop in High Petergate for The Old York Cake Shop. The venture is operated by Tony Vickers and Thomas Vickers, who also run The Old York Tea Room on Goodramgate through T&T The Old York Ltd.
The pair announced their plans for the new shop in July, stating it would be dedicated to takeaway cakes including brownies, cheesecakes, pastries and other sweets. They said the High Petergate unit was perfect for their purposes and reported receiving significant public support for the conversion.
Listed building consent for external renovations was already granted on 21 October. The changes include repainting the Grade II* building black with gold lettering featuring the shop's name above the front door and window. The two wooden hanging signs proposed at the front would also be painted black with the store's name in gold letters. According to the application, the proposal retains the historic shopfront fabric and established architectural composition.
