With Iron Gate in the distance (the street that is home to the Cathedral) this is a modern-day view of this long established thoroughfare between Iron Gate and Bold Lane (Bold Lane being behind the photographer). It seems that the long-established Meynell family may have commissioned the construction of this timber-framed and brick hotel in 1608 but that it may have been Ford & Weston (builders) who were responsible for the mock-Tudor effect c.1929. The pub/hotel is currently empty and showing signs of vandalism.
