The left door of the house to the left has become a window, the two windows have been shortened, and the Gothic arch of the other door has been removed.
Silting of the Ouse's ponderous waters robbed the town of much of its former prestige as a seaport, but its many graceful buildings and old Custom House have brought to it the appella- tion
The fine half-timbered octagonal market cross, resting on timber stilts and stone arches, was built in 1605 after a fire destroyed a good proportion of the town.
The arched building in the left foreground is the Market Hall, which was built in 1627 at the expense of Sir Baptist Hicks.

It looks much the same today, with attractive flower- beds, although it has been reduced in size to aid the flow of the traffic.

The shop fronts in the left-hand row have retained much of their original quality, but Flair, the ladies' hairstylist (right), has made the alterations which were regrettably to become
