Description:This view shows the Wolverhampton Road at the junction with White Lion Street on the right.

On the left at No. 5, Wolverhampton Road is Anne Giles: "Stafford's Leading Ladies Hairdresser" who also had another salon opposite 'The Swan' in Greengate Street. The two terraces of houses were demolished in the late 1970's and those with the lamp-post in front were replaced by a modern block of three shops with apartments above. The large advertising sign: 'The Beefeater' refers to the Beefeater Restaurant operated by Jenkinson's which was in Greengate Street. They used this site for advertising over many years. On the extreme right is a part view of the Grade II listed 'Gothic Cottage' dating from 1840-2 which is still in situ.
