Castle Street

Castle Street extends from the junction of Pride Hill and St. Mary's Street down past the Castle gateway to the Railway station.
The first and second views show the old School, up to the 1960s this was the Public Library. The circular object just to the left of centre in the second picture is the pedestal of a statue of Charles Darwin. The fourth picture shows the view looking down Castle Street with the old Presbyterian Church in the centre: the Castle entrance is just down past the church to the right.
