Beyond the market to the left is the River Chelmer, and beyond on the right, Victoria Road. The open vehicle in the foreground is a fire engine of the Marconi Fire Brigade, although probably not operational as such by 1980. The livestock market later moved out of town, but closed in 1999. I am at a loss to remember the fairly elevated vantage point!
