More about this scene
Just a few yards up the hill from All Saints' Church, Barn Hill is a far cry from the commercial bustle of Red Lion Square. The photograph is taken from outside the Trinity Methodists Church (opened 1886). The gates on the right lead to Barn Hill House, which was fitted out at a cost of more than £3,000 as lodgings for Sir Robert Peel and other ministers during Queen Victoria's visit to Burghley House in 1844. More recently it was used as the setting of the New Fever Hospital in the BBC production of 'Middlemarch'. This scene has remained virtually unchanged over the last eighty years, except for the arrival of a set of double yellow lines.
