These photos date from around the turn of the 20th century – with cattle grazing close by – up to the 1980s. The main image is an aerial shot showing a lot of the development on the north side of the historic building.
Clearly identifiable are the Passport Office, Stuart House office development, the12-storey Cumberland House block of flats and the old market and multi-storey car park.
Opposite the market, the New Road bar and nightclub strip has still to be built.
