The Oxford Arms, looking west
The Oxford Arms is a large hostelry on Duke Street which would have been the main route through town at one time.
The large truck approaching at the end of the street shows how impossible this would be for today's traffic.

HSBC, Kington branch
Elegant neighbour to the former town hall, now the local HSBC branch. Ionic pilasters are not an everyday sight in this part of the Borderlands.
October 2017 : This bank branch has now closed, as have all of the other banks in the town, an area where the internet is still a thing of mystery to many.
