More about this scene
This photograph, taken from the tower of the Town Hall, looks down past the formal square to the buildings of Bishop Street, which include the reference library by Edward Burgess of 1904 and the former Liberal Club, also by Burgess, of 1888. In a street of attractive buildings the eyecatcher is prominent to the right of the photograph: the fine, classical brick-faced Methodist Church of 1815 by the Rev. William Jenkins (1763-1844). Having retired from the ministry in 1810, Jenkins practised as an architect in London, designing chapels with a touch of brilliance from Exeter to Darlington.
