Vicar’s Close, Wells

This is Vicars Close, in the City of Wells, Somerset, UK.

This is reputed to be the oldest purely residential street in Europe with its original buildings still standing and is a ‘must see’ if you ever visit.

Thank you for your views, comments and favs on yesterday’s offering. Much appreciated.

Great perspective

It's beautiful, I would imagine the home owners get a little fed up of people wandering about though!

It's also gated and the only way out when closed was over the covered bridge and into the Cathedral for prayers as this was place where the Priests were housed for the Cathedral.

ps I used to live and go to school in Wells 🙂

@johnsutton Ahhh. A Wells boy. Didn’t know that. (I guess that was a way of keeping the priests true)

[John Sutton]
