More about this scene
Many of these buildings have been demolished to make way for retail development and road alterations, whilst the Broadway Cinema out-lived its silver screen only to end its days as a supermarket. Further along the road is the main post office and at the end, distinguished by its clock tower, is the Town Hall, which was built in 1880.
