Excuse if any of this information is repeated, I can\'t hear if there is audio on the video. Further to the text description, the first shots are taken at the top of Hastings Tower, at Ashby Castle. The ruins in the foreground are castle walls.
The Bull\'s Head is said to be the oldest building in the town, with parts dating to the 14th century.
The new school is called Ivanhoe: now known as Ivanhoe College, it was previously Ivanhoe High School.
The ruins are, again, Ashby Castle and the street is indeed called Market Street. The timbered building on the right is The Lamb Inn. (The Bull\'s Head, seen earlier, is at the top of this street, on the left).
