Looking along St. Paul's Lane from ground level at its northern end. St. Paul's Lane is just a small back-street in the town's main business district, although it was a thoroughfare until the 1970s when the town's main road approaches were constructed. In this picture, the advertisement hoarding on the right (for an upcoming film) shields what has been a vacant building plot for many, many years. On the immediate left is a tall wall around the grounds of the McCarthy & Stone building (Image). More distant is Cranborne House (Image), one of the University's many student accommodation blocks, while on the left is Image A few inches below us are the double yellow lines at the end of the carriageway, but pedestrian access is available to the pavement of St. Paul's Road running left-right immediately behind us. The route is physically blocked off to vehicles by a row of concrete posts. The not-quite-new moon is just visible in light cloud above Cranborne House.
