Description:A bus waits outside the Anglesey Hotel on Market Street. The Anglesey Hotel was built in 1831 by Edmund Peel of Tamworth, son of Sir Robert Peel of Drayton Manor, brother to Robert, sometime British Prime Minister. Known as Hednesford Lodge, it provided stabling for Edmund's race horses and family accommodation when they visited; Hednesford Hills being emminently suited to the training of horses due to its springy turf. The Marquis of Anglesey acquired it by 1867 and it was transformed into the Hednesford Commercial Hotel and later the Anglesey Arms run by the Eskrett family. In 2015 it was renamed as the Hedgeford Lodge, when it opened as a public house, part of the J.D. Wetherspoon chain.

To the right is the Electric Palace Picture House, renamed the Tivoli Cinema from 1932.
