The eastern stretch of the City Walls (1975)
Anonymous
The eastern stretch of
the city wall became little more than a property boundary
with the development of the Blockhouse in the 19th century.
After the clearance of properties in the 1970s the wall
was once again revealed, with its massive plinth of sandstone
blocks and the upper parts much patched with later brickwork.
This view was taken to the east of New Street in 1975.
