The hut was originally a gift from Quakers in the city during the horse cab days.

Its original site was at the bottom of Briggate where toilets used to be in the centre of the road. It was removed to make way for trams and eventually ended up in Quebec Street as a centre for taxi drivers.

It demolished in August 1977 after becoming the target for vandals although the taxi rank remained.
