More about this scene
The area from the Duke of Wellington statue to Market Street was once a large ornamental pond complete with fountains, which had delighted Queen Victoria and Prince Albert on their visit in 1840. Before that, the area was called the 'dawb holes'; clay was taken from here to make local bricks. At the time of our picture, it was newly laid out and paved.
