More about this scene
It is three years after No 41278, and little has changed; the memorial is still a year away. On the left is the North Hunts Constitutional Club, now the offices of Ewing Reeson, photographer. The young child on the tricycle rides past the Unicorn, now the premises of Wadsworth`s, the beer, wine and spirit merchants, who have moved from their office on Bridge Street. Then comes a fish and chip shop, an Indian take-away and the apparently closed E H Deer, a tobacco and newsagent`s. In the distance, we can see the original buildings between Crown Street and the old Merry Lane. The Broadway was the site of the original market: the area on the far left was known as Baker`s Row, to the near left was the Bullock Market, and on the right was Tanners` Row. The market was closed in October 1886 and trade moved to join the Sheep Market, which was already well established in Market Hill.
