East Hill and East Street

East Hill and East Street together must have as many old timber buildings as the Dutch quarter. Alright, I haven't actually counted, but take a walk along this ancient (often traffic-choked) highway and be impressed. Some have been restored and are maintained magnificently (for example, Charlie Brown's), others look tired, while not a few appear almost terminal. Star attractions in East Street include The Siege House and the Rose and Crown. The brick buildings are to be noted, too (there are some grand ones on East Hill). The former East Mill is an imposing pile, and there are some interesting finds in East Bay, opposite. It's an attractive spot at the river, marred a bit by the sorry state of East Bridge itself – whatever happened to to its missing lamp posts? See also post on East Bridge below.
