The Shambles of York was also the old butcher's street and has buildings dating back to the 14th century. Now it has many interesting shops and snickleways (alleys).
Taxes used to be based on the square footage of the ground floor, hence the floors that get larger on higher levels.
"The Shop That Must Not Be Named". I wonder what they sell?
What small street is complete without a tea room?
