More about this scene
The Market Place was renamed the Bull Ring in 1910, to recall the 'sport' of bull baiting a century before. In the centre of the Market Place, a busy intersection even before cars were invented, was the Toll Booth (demolished 1857) and the Boy and Barrel Inn (removed 1898). The dominant row of shops has been modernised, but the bus station (centre right), which opened on September 1952, has now been moved a hundred yards to the east.
