This view is from Mount Close - a wide path linking Appleton Gate and King's Road - through some railings surrounding what is now the Parson's Mount sheltered accommodation complex (built in phases between 2014-2017). This is Grade II-listed Old Schoolroom at the south east end of the former Mount School Primary School site. The original school building - beyond the bell tower and behind the extension in the forefront - was opened in 1826. It was designed by W. M. Fowler. The extension dates from 1838 and the bell tower from 1877. The Old Schoolroom now houses residential accommodation, and possibly administrative offices, associated with the Parson's Mount complex. Immediately behind the photographer lies the Parish Church graveyard.
