Briggate: Define

This is the first of the definition sheets - the colours have gone a bit strange, I'll try and sort that before I upload the second sheet. Click on the image for a closer look anyway.

UPDATE: I have now replaced the image with one showing the correct colours. As you can now see, the image shows a sequence of maps of Briggate, showing:

- the pedestrianised area is marooned by the vehicular main roads looped around the East side, cutting off Briggate and halting the historical north-south flow.
- retail unit sizes vary enormously throughout the area, but there is an overal trend of increasing unit size as you move from north-south down the street
- the area is almost exclusively retail. Other uses are pushed to either end of the street, closer to Boar Lane and The Headrow.

The elevation at the bottom illustrates the inequality in dominance between the historical loins (alleys) against the main streets, grand arcades and key stores. Lengths of shop frontage are marked above the elevation, which again shows a trend for larger shop fronts towards the southern end of the street.
