Steps from the upper to lower town at St Petersgate

Steps from St Petersgate Bridge against the wall of the bank with its modernist sculpted window. The area has never been undervalued and carries traces of several restorations and additions





Steps from High Bankside to Little Underbank. The flights form part of the bridge structure over Royal Oak Yard. Sympathetic brick and steel engineering from a the period of great prosperity. Little Underbank residents were very concerned that St Petersgate Bridge would take the prosperity away from the lower town. The solution was to engineer three sets of steps to create the greatest access. The fourth set would have blocked the entrance to Royal Oak Yard.

Steps from St Petersgate Bridge at the point of entry into the Market Place. The Archway onto Little Underbank is two storeys high to allow for maximum daylight onto the steps
