Quick facts

The street has medieval origins, and its older buildings include The Crow, a timber-framed house with an overhanging upper floor.

Because the area was poor and traffic was routed elsewhere, much of its historic character survived.

It lies a short walk from the cathedral, so it fits easily into a loop of the old city.
