Broad Garth
-
Description
"There were no minor streets or 'chares' running off the Quayside before 1376, but after that date 20 are described between Sandhill and Sandgate which survived until the mid C19. Most were so narrow that two people could not walk abreast. The line of the twisting, narrow alley, Kirk Chare, is marked out here by the paving. Many of the chares in this area of the Quayside were destroyed in the Great Fire of 1854. Broad Chare was an exception, as it was wide enough to take a cart. Modern development has now widened Broad Garth to just tolerate the odd car. The Quayside can be seen through the distant arch which is known as 'Fenwick's Entry'." -
