The South Bailey runs from the Cathedral to Prebends bridge across the river Wear. Today's buildings mostly date from the 17th Century and reflect a change to a prosperous residential neighborhood from the origins as part of the castle's protective earthworks (as the name bailey suggests). Most (if not all) property on South Bailey is owned by the University.
