Race Hill was once the main road into Launceston from the south; it leads down to the South Gate, which is the last remnant of the old town walls. The North and West gates were demolished in 1832 and 1812 respectively. The Plymouth and Devonport Inn, whose sign can just be seen to the right of the arch, is now the... [more]

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]
