More about this scene
Tregenna Castle was built as a house for John Stephens in 1774 to the designs of John Wood the younger, the well- known architect of Georgian Bath. It stands above the town, and has staggering views over the Bay, so it is little wonder that the Great Western Railway turned it into a hotel.

This granite archway (just off the Digey) once marked the entranceway to an old Manor House belonging to the Hicks family. The area beyond the arch is still known as Hicks Court.
The alleyway to the left was known as "Pudding Bag Lane" (only one way in and one way out!). The correct name was Capel Court however. The area ( to the everlasting shame of the town council), was swept away in the 1930s for 'redevelopment'. The area it occupied is now a car park at the rear on The Sloop Inn.
