| The market square, developed by 1200. It was a vast open space, about six soccer pitches in size, which ran from here to Ropergate, then to Cornmarket and back to Woolmarket via Salter Row. St Giles' Church and St Oswald's Cross stood in the middle. Gradually streets of permanent shops filled the open space. The Georgian Town Hall was built on the site of the earlier Moot Hall. |
