Hales Street to Corporation Street

Dominated by the Opera House, there is very little we would recognise here in 2021. The Old Grammar School is just visible beyond the Opera House in this c1920s postcard view, but where once the Burges crossed the end of the street, merging into Bishop Street, we now have entrance to Corporation Street, opened in 1931.
