The present day narrowness of Hounds Gate (or Hungate as it was previously known), seen here with St Peter’s Gate and St Peter’s Church in the distance, gives observers some idea of what the street might have looked like in medieval times. Indeed the closeness of the buildings at one point must have made it relatively easy to construct the overhead weatherproof interconnecting corridor with its “Bridge of Sighs” appearance. The bridge itself, connecting the two portions of a former soft-goods warehouse, was constructed in 1923.
