Historically, what is now High Street was much wider and was where the market was held, but over time the traders' stalls took on a permanent form, resulting in the narrow side streets that now run parallel to it: Market Street to the south and Harp Lane and Church Street to the north. This is Church Street, the northernmost of these streets; the buildings on the left divide it from Harp Lane (see Image). The sign is for the Rose and Crown pub - see Image
