The corner of All Saints Road and Vicarage Road early on a bright October afternoon.

Hard to judge the age of flint buildings, I think these are probably Victorian but much modified. Note the ornate ground-floor window in the farthest one. They used to have hexagonal roofing tiles (Google StreetView 2010) but those have now gone.

This traditional newsagents' shop is on All Saints Road at its junction with Palace Street. There is a photograph from around 1960 of All Saints Church on the Francis Frith website that clearly shows this shop but with the proprietorial name of Woollard.

There are a small number of wholly Victorian churches in west Suffolk and include both those in Newmarket. The foundation stone was laid in 1875 on the site of the old church. The design was by Oldham Chambers of Lowestoft, whom Cautley regarded as untutored. The lower part of the tower was preserved and rebuilt to a greater height than before. It is now unsafe for bell-ringing. Noticeable is the fact that the clerestory windows are too small and a poor attempt at Gothic revival. Originally built with an apsidal east end it was remodelled in 1888 to the way it is today. There is nothing of antiquarian interest in the church as nothing was preserved from the old church. It is not even a good example of a late Victorian church. It is however, smart and clean inside with excellent facilities.

Although there has been a church here for many years the current structure was built new in the mid-1870s and consecrated in 1877. The Church's website is here http://www.allsaintsnewmarket.org/index.html Curiously the Ordnance Survey's current 1:50,000 scale mapping does not show this church with a tower at all, the only such symbol in this grid square being for St Mary's on the other side of the High Street.
