More about this scene
At the beginning of the 19th century, a number of new streets were built following the grid pattern of the mediaeval town. North Parade was one of these, but it was made much wider than the others to allow the local militia to use it as a parade ground. The National Provincial Bank of England on the left was built in 1901-03 on the site of the first houses to be built outside the medieval town walls in 1797. Chalybeate Street on the right led to the chalybeate well, which was used by visitors who came to drink its waters.
