More about this scene
The view shows an abundance of public houses and hotels. At far right three stand side by side - the Theatre Royal, then Clarence and (out of picture) the Cambrian. They in turn are overshadowed by the much larger Royal Hotel across the street. The original building (with canopied entrance) opened in 1866, with its façade in the Italian Renaissance style. Lack of capacity precipitated the huge Wood Street corner extension of 1890.
