A view of Dakeyne Street (cul-de-sac) on the other side of the B686, taken from the corner of Handel Street. The street-name sign of the latter is affixed to the corner of The Duke of Devonshire pub whose entrance is on Carlton Road. This pub is still known to some as “The Madhouse” because of the fact that selected patients from The County Lunatic Asylum in Dakeyne Street were allowed to use the pub as a meeting place until the hospital closed in 1902. A plaque near to the pub entrance refers to this.
