From Lewes District Council's website http://www.lewes.gov.uk/leisure/1808.asp "Keere Street, a favourite location for TV and film companies, is also well worth a look. This twitten is a steep cobbled byway linking the town centre to Southover. Flanked by picturesque cottages and with the beamed 15th century bookshop, the street marks the boundary of the medieval town with a fragment of the wall lying behind the houses on the east side. Tradition says that George IV, while Prince of Wales, drove a coach and four down Keere Street for a wager." And from Lewes Town Council's website http://www.lewes-town.co.uk/infopage.asp?infoid=298 "Keere Street (the street of locksmiths) was partly built on the dry ditch of the town wall. The central watercourse was paved with water-rolled flints (petrified kidneys)."
