Mr Crocker’s (centre right) bicycles are not in evidence, the General Warehouse (centre left) no longer dyes cloth and the pub just below it is no longer. The two strollers and the cart have been replaced by crowds of grockles, bus stops, traffic lights, cars parked everywhere and other accoutrements of modernity, and somebody has cleared up the horse dung (bottom left). The trees at the top have gone but not those houses, and the Luttrell Arms (former residence of the Abbots of Cleve) on the right-hand side still sticks out slightly.

Conygar Tower, top right, was the 1775 folly of Henry Luttrell, 2nd Earl of Carhampton. It’s 60 feet high and is where it is so that the Earl could see it from the castle.

Milling in Dunster was the cause of a great many disputes and hell-neighbourly fractiousness, because so many millers and others wanted to take advantage of the lord of the manor’s mill leat, which was cut from the river Avill west of Frackford and ran next to the road that became the A396 West Street, before turning down Mill Lane (naturally), round the castle foot and back into the river.
