This rare view is of unknown origin but Howard Rockley in Topographical Tunbridge Ware states that it is presumed to be from the Hollamby factory.
St Mary in Castro was built beside the Roman Pharos (lighthouse) which was itself built in the second century. It is the most complete Roman buidling that still stands in Britain and one of only three Roman Pharoi that still stand today.

Thomas Waterman is a scarce maker of Tunbridge ware, and his label is certainly a rare find. Although his address changed from Grafton House to the High Street in 1859, Brian Austen sugggests that he was at least trading from Grafton House for longer as all of his labelled pieces bear the Grafton House address.
