About This Book
The guide examines the town's distinctive long, narrow passages called the Rows, describing their appearance, names, and arrangement alongside the parish church. It situates them in the town's growth as a crowded, fortified port and argues their form promoted space economy and defensive advantage, while noting other conjectures about origins and tidal drainage. The author cites earlier local commentary and records various visitors' reactions, from antiquarian admiration to comic comparisons, and offers practical descriptions for sightseers. A short descriptive sketch of the adjoining beach and visitor information complete the pamphlet.
