A glance across this mid-60s Square shows traffic on Tamworth Road (the B6540) heading towards Market Place with a glimpse of the Library Gardens beyond it. The square and the housing complex that overlooks it on two sides was so named to commemorate the 1961 town-twinning partnership with Romorantin-Lanthenay in the Loire Valley, an arrangement that stemmed initially from contacts between the rugby clubs of these two towns. Unfortunately one of the two residential blocks has been empty for the last 2-3 years.
