The view towards the city has now unfortunately been spoilt by tall office blocks and multi-storey carparks.
Note the blocked-up window on the right with the lintel and sides remaining.
A boy is sat on a rock in the centre of the picture - are the shapes in the sand his handiwork?
The white building in the centre background was demolished, and a large block of drab-looking flats replaced the trees on the left.
In 1973 construction began on the Town Hall extension, a modern office block linked to the rear of the existing building by means of a first-floor bridge.
This shows the bank designed by Archibald Simpson (1839), topped with a statue of Demeter, and a large block of houses by John Smith (c1810), showing Smith's characteristic recessed, curved corner.
This street is now bedecked with flower baskets, but the splendidly cut granite blocks and steps of the houses still survive, as do the cobbles, or 'setts', of the street's surface.
Salmon still mass below the weirs in spring and the town's former mills have found a new life as apartment blocks.
Wide streets are typical of country towns, designed so that markets could be held without blocking the main thoroughfare.
Market encroachment blocks the view, with a new lane formed between it and the original plots fronting Middle Row on the right.
The large building dominating the Promenade is the Majestic Hotel, now demolished and supplanted by an equally large block of flats called Majestic Court.
The equivalent block on the south side was built for the foot guards.
The block of 41 shops facing Market Square was the first to be built.
A large building continues to form a backdrop to the scene, but it is regrettable that it is now a rather harsh block of flats known as Summit Lodge.
The boom towers originally had a chain stretched between them, which could be raised to block the River Wensum if need be.
This picture shows the remains of the flint tower, which, as can be seen, needed substantial reinforcement with solid blocks of stone.
The small boy on the left is leaning against the wall which formerly enclosed three acres of grounds belonging to the White Hart Hotel, but now occupied by a nondescript block of shops and offices.
The cliff has a tendency to crumble, and has blocked the path to the beach several times in recent years.
This shows the County Offices of 1928, built in Neo-Georgian style in brick with stone dressings.
The square office block is a listed building, and when it became unsafe it had to be rebuilt in 2000 to a virtually identical design.
It has links with the past, and a blocked tunnel is said to have led to St Michael's church that stands nearby.
They were built of concrete blocks by the Swindon development company Bradleys on land that was formerly Fuller & Maylam's nursery.
Sloping concrete blocks act as sea protection.
Ordnance Survey maps show that it was built on the site of an older road, New Barn Road, whose path had run across the present road, but which was blocked by the railway of 1903.
