After suffering damage during the war, the Guildhall was reopened by the Queen in 1959. Modern development makes an identical view impossible to how it looked back in 1930, but in the square the tram shelter has gone, as have the trees and the Guildhall minarets.
Taken some time between 1963 and 1975. Most likely nearer 1963.
