Pat Wensor – Another Hilkiah Burgess watercolour from 1820, entitled “The Gore” (SGS collection). I’m pretty certain that this was pulled down to make way for Harmstone’s coachmakers (later the Post Office) and JT White’s (now Kubus). In the cellar of Kubus there are the remains of the old Priory boundary wall.

Keith Seaton – The Gore was beside the Westlode River where it passed down to what is now New Road & Westlode Street and became the Sheep market later when the river was filled in. They used to have jousting etc on the Gore in olden days I believe
