Looking into the town centre across the car park of the former Riverside Sports Centre. The old town's South Wall ran along the line of rubble that until recently was a terrace of houses. To the left are the Magistrate's Courts, next to the Police Station. The old house is a former pub, now offices known as Oriel House, and the tower block to the right is the Telecoms building. 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 skyline behind the Courts and there are also plans for an apartment complex on the former Riverside site.
