Yet again, another of the old town’s access paths between the High Street and the Denes, but one which seems to have gone out of use at some point during the late 17th-early 18th century and become part of the site of what is now No. 88 High Street - whose plot once ran down the cliff-face as far as Whapload Road. / This Score leads down between distinctive “crinkle crankle” walls. / 30 July, 2026 |

| My dentures look OK but... |

There are two key stages in denture creation - Impression and then Jaw relationship. If either of these are not correct, it doesn't matter what your dentures look like, you will quite probably have problems or issues that will need sorting. ...are painful, uncomfortable, loose, ill fitting and have no suction This sounds like an issue at the Impression stage, where an inaccurate mould of your mouth was taken. To resolve this we need to retake the impression and sometimes take a secondary impression, using a customised tray designed specifically for your mouth. / 7 December, 2023 |

This has the distinction of being the only one of the original scores, still in use, which seems to have retained a name going back to the late 16th-early 17th century.
