One of only a few 'cobbled' streets still left in the city centre. Everyone calls them cobbles but they are technically setts https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sett_(paving) rather than cobblestones https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cobblestone The road is very narrow. There is a 'no entry' sign on Friargate which prevents vehicles using this road as a shortcut. The building on the right in the foreground is Union Court. It has its construction date marked rather elaborately upon it as can be seen here Image
