More about this scene
The Guildhall is in the centre, and the Gates Memorial drinking fountain to the left. The memorial was given by the chief magistrate and the widow of the first mayor (under the 1874 Charter), Pearson Gates. The tall building behind it was demolished to accommodate a half-timbered building for the new Boots chemist in 1911. The tall lean rickety Dickensian building in front of the church housed the electricity and waterworks offices.
