More about this scene
With the introduction of the one-way system, traffic now travels only out of town through the arch. Next to the Arch is the Baker's Arms Hotel, another 18th-century building. Until the 1980s it was known as the King's Arms, and like so many inns around the country, it is reputed to have played host to Charles II during the Civil War. Opposite is the narrow Ching's Alley with its brick-vaulted wine cellars, used until 1920 by Ching's Stores.
