Date:1841
Description:Stafford possessed a market as early as 1206, when Edward the Elder passed a law stating that all buying and selling had to take place in a market town. On the right can be seen the Shire Hall, built in 1798. The inn sign on the left belongs to the Star Inn, one of four of Stafford's coaching inns. The building was demolished in 1851 to make way for the Guildhall. There is some confusion over the date of this print, as the clock in the pediment of the Shire Hall was placed there after the Star Inn had been demolished.
