Description:The Crescent is the curved enlargement to Market Street made to accommodate the bus stops. Anglesey Street is in the right foreground behind Jones newsagent’s shop, with the advertising board.

The old Market Hall can be seen adjacent to the clock. The building was 100 years old when it was demolished in 1972. Signage for Moore's Clothing factory can still be discerned on the side of their factory building but by the time this photo was taken it was a Joseph Lucas factory.
