Description: | February 1966. This small area off Queen Street was originally named Lobley's Yard and was slightly larger, before the Borough Stores was built for W. P. Marshall in the 1890s (now Sutcliffes TV). Whether this was an entirely new store or a replacement for an older one on the same site is not known, but after it was built the yard to the side was renamed Queen's Place and several houses were built on it. The photograph shows a gloomy aspect but since it was taken the yard has undergone a transformation, partly connected with the pedestrianisation of Queen Street. The backs of the shops on Queen Street, off to the right, have been smartened up, the whole yard has been paved and high class restaurant has been opened in the block where the old gas lamp is here.
