This shows the eastern end of Albert Road. Just beyond the furthermost building is the Municipal Hall, (not visible here as it is set back from the road) which still fulfils its original purpose as a concert hall and hosts a variety of events throughout the year. The large building with the domed tower, seen at the bottom of the block is the former Co-op building. This co-op building took over from the older building at Shackleton Hall as the main Co-op department store for the town. It now has small shop units on the ground floor, with residential flats on the upper floors.
