The buildings on the right separate St Mary's Street from St Martin's Street, both of which run parallel southwards from here, occasionally separated by buildings and occasionally by open spaces: it seems clear that the surviving Market Place, halfway along the twin streets, was once a much longer north-south marketplace which has been turned into two parallel streets by permanent buildings replacing market stalls and encroaching on the open space, a common scenario.
