Getliffes Yard

On Derby Street is the hidden entrance to Getliffes Yard,three cottages and stables that have stood since the early 19th Century. Today restored to its former lively character, it is a vibrant community of shops, businesses and cafes, on original cobblestones below a magnificent glass dome.
Local legend has it that a witch lived here in times past along side a baker. The baker noticed that when ever the witches black cat was near by all the baking was ruined. so one day the baker threw a hot oat cake at the cat hitting it on the back and then chased it into the witches house. In the house there was no sign of the cat but the witch was howling in pain from a burn on her back.
