See the bricked up window. In former years, there was a tax on windows and if you didn't pay, the city would brick up your window. This was how they got the expression, "daylight robbery." |
 |
This is St. Cuthbert's Church. The little wooden door to the right is known as "The Devil's Door." It was opened during christenings, so that the devil could escape. |
