Taunton: faded former ownership
Nos 4 and 5 Canon Street are Grade II listed and date from the early 19th century. Faded paintwork above the first-floor windows shows that this was once a pub owned by Hanbury & Cotching, whose brewery was on Canon Street. Its 78 pubs were sold in 1923 to Starkey, Knight and Ford, whose Prize Medal Ales, Wines, Spirits and Aerated Waters are advertised to the left and right of the doorcase.

Pentecostal Church, Canon Street, Taunton
Taunton is a town with a large number of places of worship (I counted at least thirteen in the town centre). This one is a building of probably mid-20th century date.

Princess Royal public house, Taunton
Although I often photograph pubs I have a drink in, it was a bit early and I had a plan to wander around a fair bit of Taunton before refreshments (in a huge Wetherspoon).

The Princess Royal, Canon Street, Taunton
The pub looks to have had a makeover, at least in signage, since last photographed for this site in 2018
Image It has a modest but pleasant beer garden behind, the shade of which was welcome on a hot day.

Richard Huish Homes
One of Taunton's leading merchants of old, Richard Huish left money for the establishment of homes 'for 13 poor, needy, maimed, impotent and aged men'. The buildings were completed in 1615, the year Huish died; during the nineteenth century, much rebuilding was carried out. Now it is almost surrounded by very recent flats and housing.
