Doors huddled together in back streets
Memories of the old pub, the Crown
Near the old market place
Now an artistic space
In this, the old part of the town.

Around Broad Street
Where artists gather and meet
In this, the old part of the town.

Paint brushes and palettes of colour
Canvasses of autumnal brown
Where tear drops of rain
Cry for the poor people again
In this, the old part of the town
