Tucked away

View of the rear of the High Street and Swinfen's Yard showing a lovely atrium. The old maps show a church symbol here - was this originally part of a church or chapel ?

Twenty pence to open the door

Lovely public convenience - they should all be like this - 20 pence slots near the door - pay your money to get in and relax.
