A restaurant where you can buy Cornish pasties.
Pronounced "pah-stees."
 

 Cornish pasties.  A Cornish pasty is a dish
made of meat, vegetables, and cheese.  There
is a "handle" around the edge of a pasty that
the tin miners would hold to eat the pasty.  The
miner's hands were dirty and could even have
arsenic on them.  The pasty would be eaten in
the mine and the handle cast away.

 
The town streets
  

When Sir Thomas Becket, the Archbishop of
Canterbury was martyred, it started a huge
movement.  People would make a pilgrimage to
the Cathedral in Canterbury.  These are
souvenirs that were sold to the pilgrims.
The "Canterbury Tales" by Chaucer is about
pilgrims going to Canterbury.
