Pedestrian access to, and part of, the Coppergate shopping centre, running south-east from Coppergate itself. It has adopted the almost ubiquitous practice of suspending umbrellas over the street. This is said to have originated in the Portuguese town of Águeda, as both a surreal art installation and a practical way of shading against the sun.
