In the 1940s, this was a soft drinks bottling plant - R.White's, I seem to recall.

Just below the cenotaph and town hall stands what used to be the Wyndham Hotel. There appears to be a large tree growing where "The Ship" used to be.

Newbridge Fields isn`t on this photo. The field at the top of the image is where the Embassy Cinema stood until last year when it was demolished. On the right is the old town hall and cenitaph. The middle bridge is the 14c. bridge that the town was supposedly named after.
