This is the south end of the High Street, with the ramparts of its ruined castle visible in the middle of the picture. Totnes had a medieval wall around the centre, much of it still intact.
Many others followed in the 1960s and 70s, and the school occupies most of the south side of the road, with its playing fields extending close to the River Nene.
