The wooden palisade of the town wall runs down into the river, ending in the West Tower. A narrow gate allows exit from the town into the countryside. South of the road, a narrow strip of muddy ground surrounds numerous shanties where the local fishermen draw up their boats and work on their nets. Small but well-kept houses line the northern side of the road where some of the more prosperous fisherfolk dwell.
