Barton Square and Barton Arcade

The arcade's southern doorway opens out onto Barton Square, a lane leading into St Ann's Square. The building on the right is named "Acresfield", reminding us that in the 17th century, Deans Gate and Market Street Lane had been laid out but this area really was a field called Acres Field and it was the site of an annual fair.
