Bedford, St Paul's Square c.1955

More about this scene
St Paul's Square, also known as Market Place, is bounded on the west by the churchyard of St Paul. The old guild hall and numerous small market encroachment buildings were cleared away early in the 19th century by the town's Improvement Commissioners; this in effect recreated the original scale of the medieval market place. In this view, the market place is mostly a car park, with market stalls along the south side of the Square - one is visible at the left.
