More about this scene
We are looking across the Market Place from the corner of Bridge Street, past the Town Hall. At this date Queen Victoria's statue can still be seen (just visible, centre left); and between the bank and the Queen's Hotel the narrow gabled building with the big arched window is the old Corn Exchange. This was built in 1886 and replaced older buildings cleared to make way for it. It in its turn went in the 1960s. The statue atop its gable, appropriately enough, is Ceres, the Roman goddess of agriculture.
