More about this scene
The abundance of Union Jacks and other flags in this view of Wakefield indicates that the photograph was taken in 1953, the year of Queen Elizabeth II's Coronation. A sign across the street advertises the Great Yorkshire Show held in early July, and the Coronation was on 2 June. In the background is the spire of the 14th-century cathedral church of All Saints.
