The White Hart on the left survives, as, of course, does St Peter's church beyond the neo-Georgian shopping parade.

A charter of incorporation was granted in 1892: the borough was formed out of Barton, Eccles, Winton, and Monton.
Considerably smartened up now, Hayes Barton is otherwise unchanged from this view.
This is a peaceful scene, with horse and cart on a deserted and remarkably leafy Lewes Road.
West Hill House, right, at the corner of Market Hill and Quarr Barton, is Grade II* listed; it was the home and surgery of Dr James for 42 years.
