More about this scene

There was a castle at Aylesbury, but its location is unknown: only the name of Castle Street commemorates it. Here the photographer looks uphill towards Temple Square. The 18th-century cottages on the left stand behind a raised pavement. On the right is the tall pedimented front of the old Independent Chapel of 1778, demolished in 1979 and replaced by Hickman Charity flats.

My husband, Roger Watts, and his family lived in Castle St in the 1950's. The picture has a figure standing outside their front door (no.15) which could be his mother or older sister Linda.
