Priory Row

I consider this area surrounding Trinity Church and stretching around to St. Michael's and Bayley Lane by far the nicest and least spoiled sector of our city centre. The Lychgate cottages pictured here have remained largely unchanged for centuries since being built by Rev. John Bryan in the mid 1600s using ancient timbers from some original priory buildings.

The view straight ahead in 2015 is now across Trinity Street towards Primark, rather than into the entrance to Butcher Row as seen in the 1905 postcard.
