Segment of Wolborska Street in the Old Town

As one of the oldest streets in Łódź, Wolborska Street was an integral part of the city's Jewish district and a major center of commerce. Wolborska connected the Old Market Square with the streetmarket on Wschodna Street (Szachermarkt), where kosher slaughterhouses were located. For many years, passage into the Old Market Square from Wolborska Street was blocked by a building housing Michał Krel's restaurant (visible in this photograph)
