More about this scene

This view was taken looking west, in the opposite direction to 72314 (page 74). The chimneystacks of Lord Burghley's Hospital are an eye-catching feature along the south bank of the Welland. The Hospital, a set of almshouses founded in 1597 by William Cecil, owes much of its present appearance, including the chimneys, to alterations made in the 18th century. The building on the left with the mansard roof is now occupied by Pizza Express.

Most of the buildings shown here are still standing, but the cottage with two windows on the left-hand side had been rebuilt by the time I was born, and since the mid-1960s there has just been a gap there ...see more
