Priory Close, CHEPSTOW, NP16 5ND

Mount Way is a discontinuous residential road. The southern part connects with Welsh Street about 100 metres away. The northern part, seen here, leads from Welsh Street to numbers 30 to 42 Mount Way.

Largely hidden behind the tree is The White House, Welsh Street. Built circa 1935, in Modernist style, of rendered and white painted brick under a flat roof - believed to be copper-covered. Listed, grade II, with details at: https://cadwpublic-api.azurewebsites.net/reports/listedbuilding/FullReport?lang=&id=27108 Chepstow, the most easterly town in Wales, is located on the tidal River Wye, some 3 miles above its confluence with the River Severn. There is evidence of continuous human occupation from the Mesolithic period. The town grew in importance when the Normans erected a castle at what was the lowest bridging point of the River Wye. The town flourished as a port, being exempt from English taxation, and it mainly traded in timber and bark from the Wye Valley. The town became an important centre for tourism from the late eighteenth century.

Kingsmark Lane heads away from Welsh Street. The far end of the lane is at the St Lawrence Road junction.
