Peacocks Passage...

... off Kirkgate, Ripon.

I have walked past this little ginnel on many occasions, without taking much notice. Today the late afternoon sunshine, casting shadows, caught my eye.

I need to find out more about this little passage and its history, especially to identify the use for those hooks which might well have been used to hang meat. There certainly appears to have been a butcher's shop close by (as well as a bakery on the passage owned by the same family).
