Just a few more photos of the bottom end of New Street before we move on to the junction of Corporation St & Stephenson Place. Here we have the Big top site at the junction of New St & High St, followed by C & A's shop at the bottom of King Edward House, then we have Littlewoods store and on the other side of the road is Marshall & Snelgrove's department store which was later converted to a hotel.

A few more photos to go with the previous post. If you are not sure of the building, just run your mouse over the thumbnail photo and it will give a short description. If you are still not sure just ask and I will try to answer.

So after reaching Victoria Square we had 5 other streets we could take not counting New Street that we have just walked up. Paradise St, Colemore Row, Congreve St, Hill St, and Waterloo St.
From Victoria Square we can peek down Hill St as far as Navigation St and depending when it was this is what we would see.
