Finkle Street was known as Finclegayle or Fynkullstrete in the 12th century. Then, as Yorkshire folk are famed for 'speaking as they find' it became Mucky Pig Lane due to it's close proximity to the pig market! The mediaeval name was revived in Victorian times in an attempt to improve the image of the area. The church tower in the background belongs to St Sampsons, and the Roman Bath pub has viewing area allowing a glimpse of the Roman remains beneath the building.
