An early photograph taken in 1865 of High Street, and is a remarkable example of early photography, deserving considerable study. The gates to the left of the photograph belonged to what was then the Parish Church, but is now the Cathedral. There are no tram lines and the street is considerably narrower than it is at present. Projecting from the end building on the right-hand side are two curious objects that we take to have been designed for illumination. Road repairs are apparently in progress, and the gentler, slower pace of life is manifest. |
