What is recorded here

This blue commemorative plaque records: Bardon Hill Stables. This former stables and coach house was built in 1873-5. In 1902 it was lavishly rebuilt by Thomas Winn for Bardon Hill's new occupant the millionaire race-horse owner Joseph Pickersgill, bookmaker to Edward VII when Prince of Wales. It was renovated and converted to luxury apartments in 2002. Recorded plaque organisation: Leeds Civic Trust.
Bardon Hill Stables served as a significant equestrian facility for Joseph Pickersgill, a prominent racehorse owner associated with high society, including being the bookmaker for Edward VII. The stables' transformation into luxury apartments in 2002 reflects its adaptive reuse in modern times while preserving its historical architecture.
