With Hounds Gate a few metres behind the photographer, this is the view from Truswell Yard (originally Truswell’s Yard) across Castle Gate and looking down Stanford Street. In yesteryear - apparently - there existed a brook in this vicinity called The Rowell. It seems to have trickled down from the high ground where Park Street now stands and eventually found its way into The Leen. At least one amateur historian has, it seems, wondered whether it used to trickle down through Truswell's Yard?
