Elm Street looks pretty all year round but in the autumn months the cobbled street really bursts into colour with an array of oranges, reds, yellows and greens.

Here are some fantastic photos that showcase the medieval street during the autumn season.

Elm Hill was named such due to the succession of elm trees that used to stand at the top of the hill. The last of these was felled in 1979, after they succumbed to Dutch Elm Disease.

The first evidence of the existence of the street dates back to the 13th century. Many of the original buildings were destroyed in a fire in 1507. On the left of the photo, the Britons Arms can be seen, which is the only remaining original building in the street.

The final elm in Elm Hill was replaced with a London Plane, which is thriving. Its leaves are still a vibrant green but some have started to show their autumn colours.

It is hard to believe this beautiful street had fallen into disrepute by the 19th century, becoming a slum full of seedy characters. Thankfully, it has revived and remains one of the most interesting and photogenic streets in the city.
