High Street, Newtown, is part of the A34, and as such is now a dual carriageway with three lanes in each direction (the northbound carriageway is at a slightly higher level, hidden by the foliage in the central reservation on the right). The rather impressive building just to the right of centre is the Bartons Arms, a large pub that was once a place to go for live jazz, but in more recent times has been associated with the goth scene (I seem to recall hearing of it hosting a trad goth night in its large upstairs function room around 2005).
