The ancient stone wall on the left encloses what was once an Austin Friary and is now a house which Pevsner describes as "a rambling stone building, C17 in its earliest parts" (see Lambert's Image]). Appleton Gate consists mainly of 18th- and early 19th-century houses and shops, increasingly grand the nearer the centre of the town. The icy pavements were perilous just after 8.30 after a fortnight of snow and low temperatures; I had just come a cropper, but with no damage to wrist, hip or camera.
