Date:1920 - 1930 (c.)
Description:View showing Henry Mercer's saddlers shop and the Baths Hotel on Greengate Street. In 1928 the council purchased Mercer's, along with various other buildings between the shop and the Coach and Horses public house, in order to widen Mill Bank (only part of Mercer's shop was demolished). During the demolition the lower courses of the old town walls were revealed; they are now under the road surface of the present Mill Bank. Just visible on the right is Chetwynd House, which was Stafford's General Post Office between 1914 and 2007. The initials of William Chetwynd (1683?-1770), who had the house built in 1712-15, can still be seen in the wrought-iron gateway.
