A road branching off from Regent Road near the Theatre Gate and extending eastward formerly called East Hill Road and now named Albion Road forms a junction with Apsley Road.
Another road also branching off from Regent Road near Theatre Gate extended still further to the south towards a mill called 'HOVELL'S MILL' now demolished . . . It is now called Crown Road.
The open space between Trafalgar Road and Crown Road, long known as the Chapel or St. George's Denes, was in 1866 . . . enclosed and planted at the expense of the Town Council. This park . . . is bounded on the east side by the house and grounds of Isaac Preston, EAS. Adjoining this modern house is an older one of red brick, which was formerly the miller's house, attached to the mill already mentioned, which stood a little further to the east, on the other side of what is now Nelson Road. Mr James Hovell, miller who inhabited this house for many years died in 1822. His widow died in 1829.
