More about this scene
The wide sweep of cobbles and double avenue of trees defines this characteristic view on entering the town from the west. It shows Westgate, the main thoroughfare of the town centre, and leading off to the left is Westgate Road, opened up in 1876 on the site of the former driveway to Sunnyfield House, a prominent private residence in the town. The view is flanked on the right by the Primitive Methodist church, built in 1907 at a cost of £4,000 to replace an earlier chapel in Chapel Street, off Chaloner Street. The private houses on the left are now commercial premises, and the cottages set back a little further along were demolished in the late 1960s to make way for two retail units.
