Probably the most authentic remaining 'yard' or through alley leading off Bridge Street. On this side of the street, development from medieval times was in the form of long narrow burgage plots, and these yards were typical of the need to provide access to buildings at the rear, often with original main building in a L shape, the foot of the L spanning the yard, as here.. To the right can be seen the bricked up openings to what would originally have been tenement dwellings.
