Description: | A view looking towards Victoria Street from Queen Square. Distinguishable premises to the left include the Board Inn, Alfred Hall the outfitters and Craddocks Boots & Shoes. Also to the left is the Prince Albert Memorial, erected to commemorate the visit of Queen Victoria to the town in 1866. Tyler's Boot Market can be seen at the junction with Victoria Street. The presence of motor cars in the image, helps to depict the change at this time, from horse-drawn to powered vehicles used for transport. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/uk/ | Publisher: | Wolverhampton Archives | Rights holder: | Wolverhampton Archives | Subjects: | Photograph Photographs Buildings Streets | Temporal: | [Early 20th cent] | Source: | Black Country History | Identifier: | http://www.blackcountryhistory.org/colle... | Go to resource |
