Maud's Open.

Narrow Flag Lane.
The High St East entrance through Narrow Flag Lane to the Mill Hill courtyard was shown in a 1790 map but the shop fronts relate to much later periods.

Sans Close.
Almost certainly built to take a carriage or cart this arch has a sign over the arch seems to read PATH CLOSED 1847 although the two stones would do little to stop entry.
