The Lace Market

This area used to be the oldest part of the City from Saxon times. However now days what remains is from when this neighborhood became the world's first centre of machine-lace production and distribution in C19. We had a break on our walk at the Queen's head pub and then visited St Mary's church.
J. showed me round the building where she lives. It's a former convent. See : http://www.flickr.com/photos/browniebear/2710978085/
