The Old Railway– This is part of the Southampton & Dorchester Railway and was brought to the town through the efforts of local solicitor Charles Castleman, after whom the new route for walkers and cyclists is named.
The Market Place Jubilee Column commemorates the Golden Jubilee of Queen Victoria and was erected as a lamp and drinking fountain in 1887. It is thought to have been made by the local Vale of Avon Iron Works.
