Taken from the south end of the street, this photograph shows Ye Olde Thatched House which was demolished during the following year, 1937. This Inn which adjoined the Market & Floral Hall dated from the 18c. There was a right of way from Market Street to Black Lion Street, through this house dating from the time when it formed part of a route taken by fishermen from Pool Valley to West Street, in rough weather when the sea front was impassable.
