Newbegin wall sign

Note the way that the corner of the wall has been cut away to facilitate the turning of vehicles from one narrow street into another, in this case Lairgate.

Newbegin explanatory plaque

"Newbegin in the 14th Century was called Newbighing meaning 'New Building' and indicating a new street."

St Mary's West Front is only about 200 yards to the north away from this corner with Lairgate.
