The acropolis brows of the old town

Market Place Bank buildings suspended above the deep gorge of Royal Oak Yard.  A grand Italianate palazzo. The rear of the Queen's Head dominates the centre of the view. This faces on to Little Underbank
ROSTRON BROW from DUMVILLES BROW. The views across Little Underbank make quite exceptional townscape.  Here the design of the upper storey is easy to read as an independent structure. The use of the Little Underbank as a linear traffic route prevents the lateral reading of the place which can only be done on foot.
