A sleepy little corner of town. Notice the arch, at the side of the cart, leading to Mill Hill Chapel. At the top of the road can be seen St Anne's Cathedral. The building was purchased for demolition to make way for road widening. The Council had seen the future... the internal combustion engine..

  You can just see the arch leading to the church. Nowadays actually getting to the centre of City Square can be hazardous to your health!
