More about this scene
The clock above the Market Hall (centre) was a favourite rendezvous point for many courting couples on their way to the theatre and cinemas. On the left many of the shops remain, while opposite the library is one of the main entrances to the new Carlton Lanes shopping centre. The sculptor Henry Moore, the son of a miner, was born in 1898 at 30 Roundhill Road. Bricks from the house, demolished in 1974, now form a wall around a commemorative garden.
