More about this scene
This is the bottom or western end of Westgate. The fine double avenue of trees, principally horse chestnuts, were originally planted in 1887 to mark Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee, then mainly re- planted in 1910. The planting of the trees was an imaginative piece of landscaping, and in their full maturity in the mid 20th century they gave tremendous pleasure to residents of the town. In recent years many have died, sad to say, and have been replaced with young saplings. The pair of gates on the right lead to Lower Garth, a significant and much admired private residence.
