More of the same …


A typical black and white painted timbered construction on Pavement, opposite Marks and Spencer. The flexion in the lower beam is impressive; the interior doors of these older buildings have to be cut at an odd angle to allow for the slope on the floor, which makes draughtproofing pretty difficult.  For another photograph of the same spot showing the Golden Fleece, allegedly the town's most haunted pub, next door, go here.
