Looking north up Market Place (A67) from inside the Market Cross building that forms a roundabout at the junctions of Market Place, The Bank and Newgate. In its time this circular structure has been a town hall, courtroom, lock-up and fire station. Another name for it is the Butter Market from when farmers' wives sold their wares from inside at street level.
