Looking into the town centre across the piles of hardcore that were once the Riverside Sports Centre. The old town's South Wall ran along the line of the trees and red brick rubble. To the left is the Borough Council Offices, followed left to right by the towers of St Mary's and St Chad's churches, the County Education offices and the Magistrate's Courts. This townscape will not last for long - planning consent has been granted to the County Council for a huge office complex which will fill the middle ground and there are also plans for an apartment complex on the former Riverside site.
