A beautiful piazza at White Lion Hotel

Little Underbank at left meets Great Underbank (centre) with White Lion Hotel at right. Despite the addition of half timbered facades and some later modernist facades the morphology of the street remains intact. Some sympathetic heritage cobbles have made this one of the most beautiful  public spaces in North West England. Townscape this balanced takes centuries to create.
White Lion was built with a round tower embedded into its structure to make a landmark corner with a white dome.
