A closer view of Image Only red cars are allowed up Fore Street. That's not true. On the far side are interestingly-shaped frontages at the corner with West Street. The line of the city wall runs in between the two; Rackclose Lane is just outside the line (ie the car is on the point of entering the city). Rather than a city gate, the church of All-Hallows-on-the-Walls stood at this point until the late C18.
