- At the East end of the Shambles was built Stokesleys 2nd Fire Station to house the manual Fire Engine given to the town by Colonel Hillyard in 1848, the 1st Fire Station store in the base of the church tower being then too small. This 2nd Fire station was used until 1914 when a larger steam fire engine was purchased.

- Until the mid 19th century, the Market Place housed the shambles, a group of butchers stalls. These were demolished, and replaced in 1846 by a group of buildings containing the Police Station, the New Shambles and the Town Fire Engine House.
