I am there Tuesday for work , I did realise they were old ? But didn’t realise just how old , going to give them a once over when there.
Well worth a look! :)
Great pic! Fascinating, aren't they? :)
Yep had a good look around and walked up to the castle , can’t believe I walked past that so many times without looking .
Now added to my *must visit* list for 2018.
There's plenty to see if you do go — medieval houses preserved on Steep Hill too :)
Are there many bridges in the UK that still have shops on them? I don’t remember seeing them.
No, most taken down since the medieval period, alas.
Is this the one you told me about
Indeed it is :)
Looks stunning can’t wait. Thanks Doc
have a lovely weekend
