Is there a lost cross alleyway at Little Underbank leading to Royal Oak Yard?

Little Underbank: sketch plan. The grey dotted line is directly in line with the steps descending from St Petersgate Bridge and indicates a blocked right of way. This area was once very permeable. Narrow passageways are a commonplace of medieval street patterns.
A sight line from steps descending from St Petersgate Bridge across to an alley that might have crossed Little Underbank. This is a pedestrian crossroad.


A letter box was a very useful way of using the blocked access to the alley. The heritage trail logo sits here.
