We decided as a group to investigate a simple cross-section of the City centre, looking only at the main High Street from the Great Hall to King Alfred's Statue, excluding any side streets and therefore any units on those side streets.
We split into pairs and divided the High Street into left and right sides to ensure that we tallied each unit accurately into the pre-agreed subcategories.
