on the opposite side, on either side of number 17, are two relatively new alleys: nygränd ("new alley"), which notwithstanding the name is from the 16th century, and brunnsgränd ("well's alley"), which notwithstanding the name contains no well. the explanation for this is former location of the biggest market square in stockholm between these two alleys, called fisketorget ("fisher's square"). it stretched down from the city gate located where köpmantorget is today, to the waterfront between 1413 and around 1520. during the 14th century it was even named "fiskestrand" ("fishery shore") and stretched north to skeppar karls gränd. the well beneath the statue of saint george (both created in 1912) is often erroneously associated with brunnsgränd, but the well which gave the alley its name is found inside the block north of it.
