    That road looks wide enough to fit 3 cars wide and it seems to be a one way street. They wouldn’t have to sacrafice the war memorial or remove the historic buildings to provide more room for pedestrians.

    Sorry i didn’t recognize it as a town, it has more density than an average north american city would which is where I’m from.

    By walker i meant someone using a mobility device, often used by seniors.

      The war memorial is in the centre of the road. The photo only shows the bit of road between the memorial and the junction. There is only room for one car in each direction. It is not one-way. The narrow section of pavement runs only for the length of the pub, which is not set back from the street as far as the rest of its row. This photo shows the entirety of the narrow section of pavement.

      It’s a warning how misleading internet posts can be without context.

        This picture must be a very unique angle. The blue building looks farther back from the road than the clare evans building in the background across the street.

          That building is irrelevant as that part of the street is on a completely different alignment. And also doesn’t accommodate the cenotaph.
