A very cleverly covered street comprising of many old houses. Everything is beautifully coordinated and there is a wide collection of very bootique shops and on the first floor balcony a very nice place to eat with a wide selection of dishes and drinks. Well worth a visit and a "must not miss".

Bit of a dump but the hat shop is brilliant. Check out Pebbles Hats 4 Central Arcade next to where House of Fraser used to be.
