Description: | Queen Square looking towards Lichfield Street. Behind in Lichfield Street, can be seen the Art Gallery. Barclays Bank stands to the left. To the right, in the turreted building, is the Cafe Royal. On the top of the turret is a time-ball which was presented to the town by the first Sir Charles Mander before he received his title. At 10.00 a.m. every morning, the ball would glide slowly down its shaft. In front of that is the Prince Albert Memorial statue, erected to commemorate Queen Victoria's visit to the town in 1866. Note the pillar box (centre) and the horse-drawn public transport to the left. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/uk/ | Publisher: | Wolverhampton Archives | Rights holder: | Wolverhampton Archives | Subjects: | Cafes Photograph Photographs Buildings Streets | Temporal: | [Late 19th cent] | Source: | Black Country History | Identifier: | http://www.blackcountryhistory.org/colle... | Go to resource |
