This photograph was taken from Windmill Hill, the only point in the town that is higher than the castle. The road curving up to the left of the castle is Roydon Road, known at this time as Zulu Road. In the foreground, the area right of the road is now a new estate, and opposite is a 1930s brick terrace. The... [more]
