In coaching days, Ashbourne was a busy town for six coaching roads met here. Coaching Inns flourished and the observer might note one or two entrances to the yards adjacent to old inns which have old coaching entrances, for example The Green Man and Black's Head Royal Hotel and The Wellington (Seen here). Those with keen eyes will also note that these yards still have the original setts, as have many of the yards which can be found throughout the town.
