More about this scene
This view is taken from the Norman Tower looking south. Beyond Westgate Street lies woodland and countryside, including Hardwick Heath. Today most of this area is covered by housing, part of the expansion of the town since the mid 1970s. On the left is Tuns Passage. The former Three Tuns Inn, which closed in 1903, became the St Mary's Institute until 1949 and was then the Labour Party office until 1997. The complex of buildings at the far end of the street is part of Greene King brewery. The three malt houses were replaced in the 1950s, and the chimney was demolished in the 1980s. The roofline of the Theatre can be seen at the end of the left-hand side of the street.
