Here High Street meets Orange Street. Hudson's Cycles are on the corner, next door to a butcher's. Opposite is the fine limestone building known as Old Constables. It was built in 1859 by Rev R Hodgkinson as a school boarding house and named after Rev 'Spot' Constable, one of its most illustrious housemasters. After almost 70 years use, it was sold and a new Constables built on Leicester Road in 1929.
