More about this scene
Now in Ock Street, Frith's photographer was looking into High Street (right) a decade after the fire that destroyed this corner. The Free Library seen in A15141 gad not yet replaced the gabled timber-frame building then occupied by Smith's the chemist's. However, the two post-fire Victorian buildings are complete, the one nearer Smith's the post office (today it has a 1954 stone-framed shop front). The three-storey gabled building built for Harris & Jackson, auctioneers and valuers, is now painted and altered. The lime trees (now gone) were planted in 1888, when the Square was no longer a livestock market.
