What low bridge is this sign on New Market Street referring to?

It ought to say " TWO FURLONGS AND TWENTY YARDS"

I am confused as to what low bridge it refers to, as the sign's location means it will be for drivers coming off Duncan Street. The sign looked to be firmly fixed but if someone has deliberately moved it round then the sign would surely be on the wrong side of the road and also the arrow would be pointing in the wrong direction for vehicles intending to go down Call Lane (where there is a bridge) as the arrow should be vertical (indicating straight ahead). The arrow cannot surely mean to enter the pedestrianised bit of Kirkgate as even if a vehicle did and then turns left onto Briggate it still has to go on Duncan Street to get to Call Lane. I suspect I may be missing something obvious to others here! The photo is no longer there...

The photo is there but you have to click on the red cross to see it (a foible of the SL website).
