Description: | A scene of the convergence of High Green (now Queen Square) with Dudley Street, when horse-drawn vehicles were still the dominant form of transport. The trade signs and advertisements are very prominent, including those for A. S. Bastick the hatter, an unidentified hosier, Cavendish restaurant, D. Dickinson the grocers, W. Giles the draper and Baker's. Note the mortar and pestle over H. E. Cullwick the chemists, and the gas lamp to the right of Freeman's Boots. Note also, that it is only the women and the errand boy who have the shopping or delivery baskets. The premises of Taylor's the watchmakers and the spires of St. Peter's Collegiate church can also be seen in the distance. Dudley Street represents an ancient link between Wolverhampton and the neighbouring borough of Dudley. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/uk/ | Publisher: | Wolverhampton Archives | Rights holder: | Wolverhampton Archives | Subjects: | Photograph Photographs Streets | Temporal: | c 1900 | Source: | Black Country History | Identifier: | http://www.blackcountryhistory.org/colle... | Go to resource |
