Some years ago I was in the old shire Hall car park which is the gap in the buildings on high Pavement opposite the now galleries of justice. there were steps leading up to another car park which are now apartments. there was an archaeological din taking place and they thought they had discovered a Danish/Viking settlement. never followed it up or read any confirmation. some of the road in the city such as Fletcher gate was originally Flesh Hewer
