More about this scene
The bishop was granted the right to hold a weekly market in 1153, and later an annual fair. During the 19th century the market prospered; this new market hall was built for £700, the money having been raised by public subscription. It is now a shop. Note Tompkinson's Garage with its petrol pumps further up the street.
