Not BC, but close enough, although I had expected something more of a slum. The tailors shop was really interesting - could do with a place like that near by.

what tailor shop or slum

Slum of course

Yes I keep meaning to visit Sue, must get round to it, I had distant Ancestors who lived there, they were Pawn Brokers.

You have to book, as there's not much room. But you get a tour guide to take you round.
I had to laugh, cos with a surname like mine (Fellows), it obviously wasn't a local that booked us, as they spelt it "Phellows"
