Date:1870 - 1880 (c.)
Description:View of the High Street looking towards the Castle Street and Stafford Street crossroads. On the far right is Henry Holland's, agricultural engineers, which today is a pet shop. Next door is the Assembly Rooms, now demolished. The large white building with the portico is the Royal Oak Inn, one of Eccleshall's two coaching inns on the London to Chester road (the other is the King's Arms on Stafford Street). With the advent of the railway the landlord compensated for the decline of his business by running an omnibus service, collecting passengers from trains arriving at Norton Bridge. The second inn sign on the right belongs to the Crown Inn. On what today is the inn's car park were cowsheds and stables for travellers' horses.
