Map
Type and Period (1)
Full Description
{1} Norden indicates a more complex pattern of roads and tenements on the west side of the market place than survived in the 18th century. The identification of the exact location of these roads is difficult because of the extreme distortion of the 1591 map, but in 1789 a narrow plot runs east to west in this area and a gap exists in the frontage that may indicate the position of the earlier lane.
