More about this scene
We are at the heart of the city centre, and this is now all pedestrianised. The Albany Hotel, dating from the late 1870s, was originally a Temperance establishment. The YMCA building to the left of the complex was added in 1891. The frontage of the hotel has changed with the removal of the top windows and decoration. The obelisk commemorated Queen Victoria's Jubilee in 1887. It was removed to Endcliffe Woods in 1903; a statue of the Queen replaced it here in 1905, but it was itself taken to the woods in 1930.
