Description

This panorama of The Square was taken from the tower of the Post Office. Some notable features include the original wooden All Saints Church (visible on the corner of Church Street West and The Square) and the Grand Hotel, built 1906. Scaffolding can be seen on the outside - this photograph captures its construction. In the centre of the photograph is the original band rotunda that sat in The Square from 1889 till 1907, when it was removed to the Victoria Esplanade to make way for a larger band rotunda.
