The tablet in Pannier Alley
Pannier Alley takes its name from a stone monument erected on the 6th August 1688. the tablet depicts a small naked boy sitting on a pannier, and bears the inscription, "When you have sought the city round, Yet still this is the highest ground".

"In the 14th century a proclamation was made against the sale of bread in the houses of bakers, and it could only be sold in the king's markets, It was, however, sold on the streets in baskets, or panniers. Panyer Alley was a place where the bakers' boys could always be found and where their wares were eagerly purchased." http://www.kellscraft.com/NooksAn…

"Pannier Alley takes its name from a stone monument erected on the 6th August 1688." Since this is 1666, either that isn't correct, or this refers to another place. Maybe the 14th century Panyer Alley burned down, and in 1688 another one took its place?
