This is the top of a wet Stert Street yesterday evening. AbITS work is underway to widen the pavement – something that should help protect the jutting out side of The Knowl building – built around 1580, with a lot of rebuilding in the 18th Century including a fine staircase….

and this is the Market Place, pictured a few minutes later, with rainwater running away along the newly made channels. I shouldn’t think the hanging baskets have really needed THAT much watering.

It has been a summer like no other.
