More about this scene
The tower and spire of St Mary's church dominates the view. To the right is the Town Hall, which was originally situated over the north end of the bridge, with only a narrow arch for traffic. In 1776 it became a victim of early traffic congestion; it was demolished, and the new building constructed. In the foreground, left, the ironmongers stands beside the Norman Arch at the entrance to St Mary's Passage (72338, page 12). Above the lady's head is the sign to the Temperance Hotel, which was run around this time by John Bunning. Beyond this we have a glimpse of the sign for the Scotneys' Old Crypt Antiques, presumably taking its name from the vaulted 13th-century undercroft beneath No 13, now Fratelli's restaurant.
