I have posted a lot about the city centre in earlier views so these cards are just three interesting cards.

A view from the Crown and Mitre Hotel in the 1950s with St. Albans Row to the Left. St. Albans Row takes its name from the Chapel that was close to this site. It was first mentioned in the Pipe Rolls of 1201 and was demolished in 1549. The street was so named in 1660.

Looking north down English Street on a sunny day in the 1950s. Plenty of shoppers about and I love that old wagon about to turn into The Viaduct.






English St about 1905. Lipton's store is on the right and the Maypole Dairy on the right.
