To the left of Frith's photographer are the grounds of West Hannay House, built as a rectory in 1727 in a good Baroque Hawksmoor-ish style, and behind him the lane leads to St James's parish church, which

Caption For Stroud, George Street 1910

Horwood's fancy goods shop is on the corner with Bedford Street (right). The street nameplate, of which several survive, is a peculiarity of Stroud.

The setting is not as good as it was in the 1890s, for the houses to the right, out of view, were replaced by awful 1960s shops with offices over.

Caption For Reigate, High Street C1955

It contains some good townscape, but it is somewhat traffic- blighted, more so now than in this 1950s view, which looks east along the High Street towards Market Square.

Now the roofless romantic ruin stands where once stood the mansion of the 'fair, and wise and good'.

There is a good range of Tudor and 17th-century timber- framed houses on the right, all with rendered fronts.
