sentences:  As the stalls, or allocated lots, of the traders in the square became less transigent so the stalls began to become permanent buildings with the confines of the square itself, thus many of the square's oldest buildings such as the King's Head Inn are hidden in what appear to be back alleys on the periphery of the square.This encroachment continued into the 16th century until the western area of the square (where the Dark Lantern public house is today) was a complex of alleys and lanes.This curious maze-like complex existed until the 1960s redevelopment of the town, and the King's Head still appears to be partially hidden by buildings in front of it.
