This is Bishop Lane Staithe in the old town it dates back to at least 1392 when it is first mentioned on some rental records, it's probably older than that. It's an narrow passage leading to the river where cargoes were unloaded. If you want to know more there's an excellent page here.
Due to an act of vandalism the usual CDPB site is not available. To view other offerings on the theme of cobbles try here.
I take it you find the cobblestone idea foolish, but your photo is fabulous and I'm pleased you played along. Some of us don't see cobblestones nearly as often as we'd like to, so we roped the rest of you into posting them for us.
ReplyDeleteLove your image - these are REAL cobblestones since they are so ancient.
ReplyDeleteA wonderfully foolish post. :)
ReplyDeleteThat's a great cobbled street for theme day! Foolish or not...

ReplyDeleteWow, I love, love the BLUE Cobblestones for today's theme day! Bravo!
ReplyDeleteSmashing shot, so atmospheric!
ReplyDeleteHaha! loved your comments, but let's face it this was way 'too easy' for you in the UK! Genuine cobblestones, bliss! Brilliant image.
ReplyDeleteTruly we are blessed with cobbles if nothing else ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks to all for your comments. Gerald, no I didn't catch that program.
