Description:
This photograph was taken from the south bank of the River Taw some time before 1874 when the Barnstaple to Ilfracombe Railway was built along the north shore. A number of the clearly recognisable features have been identified including Broadgate House and North Walk. Others like Cross Park House and Orchard House are suggested. Stanbury & Sons Victoria Flour Mills on Rolle Quay were demolished some time after 1941.
