Friary Park seen from the Queen's Street/Appleton Gate junction. On the right-hand side of the house on the right-hand margin of this picture, and behind it, are a couple of grey-stone built residential properties in a grey-stone wall-surrounded plot of land known as The Friary. In 1507 a group of Grey Friars, or "Observant Friars" of the Franciscan Order, began to serve the community from their base here that include "gardens and/or an orchard". Although there is little trace of the friary it seems possible that these gardens were part of the original C16th religious house site.
