Market Street was originally called Dungeon Street as there was a prison lock-up there. It was re-named in the 1820s when the market was re-located here from St Michael's Square.

You're right: it was too hot at times this week. We're never satisfied, are we?
ReplyDeleteNice scene you chose here. And i am pleased the Leet chair was kept safe.
Look like a lovely place to visit. I would love to be having a heat wave right now. I do not like the cold and wet rainy weather we are having. Thanks for sharing your world, have a great day.
ReplyDeleteI heard about your heat wave. Amazing!
ReplyDeleteI like your photo better than the Google view today, but I really like the fact that you added the Google street view link to your blog. Wonderful idea.

ReplyDeleteYou had a bit of a heatwave I believe. Nice to see people in short sleeves so late in the year.
ReplyDeleteThat's a very nice street - very different from ours here.
ReplyDeleteIt was a very hot day, even up here in Yorkshire, I thought I would get sunstroke at one point and had to go look for some shade. Our market is in the open air, but our monthly Farmers Market is under cover in the grotty old cattle sheds behind shops lining one side of the market square.
