Wyndham Arcade
(btwn St Mary St & Mill Lane)
An historic arcade (1887), the Wyndham is a little rundown but it
is home to the gloriously old-fashioned Havana House, a specialist cigar merchant from a
bygone era. It's known locally as the 'bear shop', thanks to a prominently displayed
200-year-old piece of taxidermy called Bruno.
