The Castle Hotel in its summer finery - the green leaves of wisteria. The hotel, formerly Clarke's Hotel, is situated right in the centre of Taunton off North Street. One passes under the Bow which is the arch just visible on the right into a quiet haven away from the bustling traffic. In an advertisement from 1934 for The Castle it says: "Best in the West - Established 300 Years" and "Radiator and Hot and Cold Running Water in 50 quiet Bedrooms. Central Heating. Fully Licensed. English Food. Night Porter. Private Car Park. Garage for 30 Cars."
