More about this scene
Looking north along High Street, the prominent clock on the right catches the eye. It was given in 1849 by Mayor Richard Padmore and projects into the street over a site once occupied by the King's Head Inn, first mentioned in 1717. The inn had a theatre in its yard but in 1779 a proper theatre opened in Angel Street and from then on the King's Head hosted a market instead. In 1804 the inn was demolished and replaced by a purpose-built market hall. This was itself demolished in the 1960s.
