Broadmead runs between Union Street and Penn Street, and was a part of the regeneration of the city centre following the destruction of the Second World War.
The broad expanse of the A24 London Road heading towards Stonecot Hill and Morden is lined with parked cars and bicycles outside the shops.
Ardleigh Green Road reaches the Southend Arterial Road (A127) and beyond is Squirrel's Heath Road heading for Harold Wood.
The centre was heavily bombed during World War II, and a new shopping area was built at Broadmead, beyond the tower.
Continuing uphill past the end of The Paragon and at the junction with Guinea Lane, Roman Road heads for the junction with a steeply climbing Walcot Street and London Road.
This is the extremely busy A15 main road heading north to Folkingham, Lincoln and eventually the Humber Bridge and south (the way we are facing) to Market Deeping and Peterborough.
Immediately opposite is the Broadmead Hotel, later to become the Picture House (the Torbay Cinema).
The row of council houses is at Broadmead (left foreground).
This is the extremely busy A15 main road heading north to Folkingham, Lincoln and eventually the Humber Bridge and south (the way we are facing) to Market Deeping and Peterborough.
From the Crown and Anchor pub on the left, the A6 trunk road heads away to Hadley Wood and on to Coventry, while on the right, the gleaming frontage of Clark's shoe shop reflects the passing scene.
The Star pub stands at the junction of the Crawley road, leading to the left, and the old Roman road heading towards London via the Caterham Valley.
This view is taken on the Portsmouth Road, now the A3100, with Church Road, the A286 Midhurst and Chichester road, heading to the left of the painted brick shop on the corner, which is now an Alldays
Two phases of Victorian expansion are shown here in this view along the Brighton Road heading south-east from the town.
The road heading off to the right leads to St Wilfrid`s Church, and not unsurprisingly is called Church Road.
At the top of the road was the Broadmead Hotel, the future site of Paignton's Picture House (the Torbay Cinema) which followed.
