Description: | A postcard of Queen Square. To the centre right stands the statue of Prince Albert on horseback to commemorate Queen Victoria's visit to Wolverhampton in 1866. The building behind houses the existing premises of Barclays Bank (2007). The image also shows the transition from the dominance of horse-drawn vehicles to powered vehicles in the form of the electric tram. In the foreground are public conveniences for ladies and gentlemen. In the background stands St. Peter's Collegiate Church and Lich Gates. To the far right can just be seen the town's Art Gallery. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/uk/ | Publisher: | Wolverhampton Archives | Rights holder: | Wolverhampton Archives | Subjects: | Photograph Banks Buildings Streets | Temporal: | c 1913 | Source: | Black Country History | Identifier: | http://www.blackcountryhistory.org/colle... | Go to resource |
