Looking along Alexandra Road, with the Railway and Bus Stations on the left. On the right, beyond Brewer Street, is the site of Green's Foundry, which manufactured and exported mining equipment. A disastrous fire in 1908 resulted in its closure, but the buildings survived until demolition in 1993, which happened despite listed status.
