Figgins Lane, High Street, MARLBOROUGH, SN8 1NA

Another narrow thoroughfare that leads away from the High Street, I couldn't find out much about it other than that the local council (Kennet District Council) regards it as a 'locally important employment location'. This image looks towards the south-east from just off the High Street.

A lane going from the High Street down to the river.

The narrow lane is part of a public footpath which connects George Lane with High Street. Marlborough is a market town on the Old Bath Road once the main road from London to Bath. The twice-weekly market is sited in High Street, one of the widest in England, lined on both sides with fine listed buildings of which the town has almost 300. There is evidence of local settlement from every period from the prehistoric to the present day. The town is home to the renowned Marlborough College. The River Kennet flows through the town.

Looking to the SE from High Street along Figgins Lane, not a through route for vehicles.

The shop on the corner of Figgins Lane sells wool, haberdashery and childrenswear.

The Merlin Hotel in Marlborough's High Street.

Quite a rare sight in this part of the country.

Looking north-east up the Georgian High Street. A slightly patronising view of the historic town can be seen in this 1969 BBC documentary http://news.bbc.co.uk/local/wiltshire/hi/people_and_places/arts_and_culture/newsid_8342000/8342839.stm

Downtown Barbers shop is at 39 High Street Marlborough, on the corner of Figgins Lane.

An old route off the High Street, which used to run past the old White Friars Priory. However, in its modern form the lane now crosses the Kennet and continues on the other bank.
