A view of the "High School" tram stop. The school site is behind the stone wall. In the distance is a 'Sainsbury's Local' supermarket that now occupies the former Vernon Arms public house. From 1650 this refreshment site operated as a coffee house and boasted a bowling green. What was then a narrow lane leading (downhill) to the city centre was called Bowling Alley Lane but its name was changed to Waverley Street in 1830. At about the same time - for some unknown reason - this former refreshment site became known as The Vernon Arms.
