This picture, taken over the wall in front of the Castle gatehouse, shows part of Fothergill's Mortimer House (1883) in the days before it became a pub and a restaurant. In the background are one of the nastily bland and out-of-scale tower blocks on Maid Marian Way, then new, and on the right horizon, in The Lace Market, the tower of St Mary's Church and the spire of High Pavement Unitarian Chapel. The cars parked in front of the Robin Hood statue (out of the picture below right) are of the period. For more recent views of this attractive row, see Image], Image] and Image
