Notes
A view looking North from Castle Road at its junction with Lister Way showing the site of what was to become the National School, not built until 1866. Martello no. 6 is in full view behind the land of the Earl of Darnley's Enbrook estate. The white weather-boarded cottages at the foot of Sandgate Hill are shown in detail, and the roof and cupola of the Episcopal Chapel, built by the Earl of Darnley in 1822 and replaced by St. Paul's in 1846, are visible immediately behind. A very attractive and detailed painting.
