Roger  - Square photo date   |Fri-09-2007
I think this photo is a bit earlier.
St Andrew's moved from Richmond Hill to
Exeter Rd in 1886, so it must be after that, but there are no signs of the
building in Yelverton Rd which became the Town Hall in 1892.
Still looking for
a clue to date more accurately! :)
Roger  - Photo Date - a bit more!   |Sun-09-2007
Further to my comments above, I think the original B&W photo might possibly be
the one in the Francis Frith collection, reference 19544: Taken from Boscobel
Tower - that fits!
Dated 1887 - that fits too! :)

A photo of the same scene,showing almost exactly the same detail appears in the
Ward Lock guide of 1912.I believe Boscobel Tower, from where the photo was
probably taken, was a hotel situated on what is now the Terrace Mount car park
and was still there in the 1930's.
The church nearest to us is St Andrews [
Exeter Rd ] which lost its spire when it was removed due to damage sustained
during ww2.No longer used as a church it is used as an entertainment venue [
Landmarc].
Terrace Mount car park is well worth a visit for the views it
affords over the town centre and beyond...but hurry as it is earmarked for
development.
