Horsefair (sometimes spelt Horse Fair) is a triangular area of three roads with some waste land in the middle. The latter currently consists of a closed public convenience, a car parking area and the bus stop and shelter visible in this view. The name indicates that long ago this is the area horse fairs were held in. Today the area is very run down but is being regenerated, although not at a very fast pace. The large three storey building in this view is home to "Bargain Booze" which is an off-licence and a convenience store. The post office on the left is accessed through the store and officially has the address 29/30 Horsefair. It was spared in the recent round of closures.
