Prominent in the photograph is The Fig Tree public house, a Greene King outlet. This was originally built as the town's police station, but was later converted to a public house with the inevitable name of The Old Bill. The transformation to The Fig Tree is recent, from around the beginning of 2006. Apparently and allegedly the new name had to fit to the number of letters of the old name on the outside of the building to circumvent certain planning regulations! Barnard's Bookshop is to the right.
