Prominent in the foreground is the Centenary Methodist Church in Red Lion Street, originally an unpretentious stock-brick Wesleyan chapel of 1839 but with its west front grandiosely rebuilt after a fire of 1910 by the London architects Henry Thomas Gordon and Josiah Gunton, in a style that Pevsner and Harris described as "Edwardian megalomaniac". In the centre background the tall chimney and the ten-storey block belong to the Pilgrim Hospital, built in stages in the 1960s and 1970s. To the right is the five-sailed Maud Foster tower windmill, built in 1819 and still grinding corn.
