Then you proceed to the Citty w^{ch} is walled round full of towers Except on the river side w^{ch} serves for the wall. They seeme y^e best in repaire of any walled Citty I know tho’ in some places there are little breaches, but the Carving and battlements and towers Lookes well. I enter’d the west gate. There are 12 gates in all and 36 Churches, which is to be seen in a Clear Day altogether on the Castle walls—I told 30 myself there. They are built all of flints well headed or Cut w^{ch} makes them Look blackish and shineing. The streetes are all well pitch’d w^{th} small stones and very Clean, and many very broad streetes: y^t I Entred in first was very broad for 2 Coaches or Carts to pass on Either side, and in the middle was a great well house w^{th} a wheele to wind up the water for the good of y^e publick. A Little further is a Large pond walled up w^{th} brick a mans height w^{th} an Entrance on one End. A Little farther was a building on which they were at work, design’d for a water house to supply y^e town by pipes into their houses w^{th} water. At a Little distance was another such a pond walled in as I described before. These things fill up the middle of this spacious streete w^{ch} is for use and also ornament, y^e spaces Each side being so broad. This brings you into a broad space Called the Hay market w^{ch} is on a hill, a very steep descent all well pitch’d as before: this Comes to another space for a market to sell hoggs in, and opens farther into divisions of buildings that begins severall streetes y^t runs off good Lengths and are of a tollerable size. One runs along behind w^{ch} is all for stalls for y^e Country butchers that bring their meate for y^e supply of y^e town, w^{ch} pay such a Rent for them to y^e town. On y^e other side are houses of y^e town butchers, y^e Inhabitants: by it is a Large market for fish, w^{ch} are all at a Little distance from y^e heart of y^e Citty, so is not annoy’d w^{th} them. There is a very Large market place and hall and Cross for fruite and little things Every day, and also a place under pillars for y^e Corn market. The building round here is Esteemed y^e best and here is the town Hall, but all their buildings are of an old form, mostly in deep poynts and much tileing as has been observ’d before, and they playster on Laths w^{ch} they strike out into squares like broad free stone on y^e outside, w^{ch} makes their fronts Look pretty well; and some they build high and Contract y^e roofes resembling the London houses, but none of brick Except some few beyond the river w^{ch} are built of some of y^e Rich factors like y^e London buildings. There is in y^e middle of y^e town the Duke of Norfolks house of Brick and stone, w^{th} severall towers and turrets and balls y^t Looks well, w^{th} Large gardens, but y^e Inside is all demolished only y^e walls stand and a few Roomes for offices but nothing of state or tollerable for use.
