You step down from Grey’s Monument into a city that wears its history on the pavements: cobbles, Victorian arcades and market stalls that hum with energy. The air here alternates between the warm yeast of a bakery and the sharp tang of pickled goods as the tour threads from the monument through Central Arcade and into Grainger Market.
