More about this scene
The Shambles was originally known as Haymongergate, because it was the site of the haymarket. Hay was used to feed the animals awaiting slaughter; it was illegal to graze livestock within six miles of the city centre. The street is very narrow, and at one point outstretched hands can touch each other from the opposite sides of the upper storeys.
