This is the St Peter's Church end of Peck Lane, with South Parade (off Old Market Square) behind the photographer. It seems probable that this thoroughfare have carried a lot of traffic in medieval times. In 1414 it was known as Plumptre Lane although by 1504 it was being referred to as Peck Lane (perhaps after "The Peacock", a local pub). A stream - it seems - used to run down it in the direction of St. Peter's Square.
