Harry and Hermione left the castle and made their way through the city. They passed an ancient pub, which clearly took its name from the occupants at the castle across the road. The Peacock's Tail was a rambling old whitewashed building complete with Tudor black-beam rafters and flag-stoned floors, and Harry was determined to steer Hermione here later; then they swept around the Georgian church and the Old Market, which was once site of the jail and Hangman's Noose, but now was a vibrant bazaar of fish-sellers, local traders and such a mix of sights and smells that it was a little dizzying.
