Description:This view of the Horsefair shows three buildings, all long since demolished as part of the road widening scheme. From left to right there is: The National Provincial Bank, The Red Cow Public House and the side wall of St Catherine of Siena Roman Catholic Church. Apparently the Red Cow was quite popular with some of the church congregation!

Visible to the left is the junction with Little Bow Street.
