Queens Square
Queens Square
Head south down Zion Gardens and continue in the same direction down Air Street which meets Queens Square on the right side of the photograph. The square was built from the 1850s onwards and has seen a few changes since. A church stood on the east side until 1983 when it was demolished to make way for a new office development. The structure on the northern side of the square was originally a Territorial Army drill hall which was turned into an ice rink in 1970. Unfortunately, that facility has recently closed and there are plans to redevelop the site. The same view of Queens Square in 1935 can be found here LinkExternal link . Air Street on the right side of the picture is a remnant of the slums from the early 19th century though all the buildings have now gone and it is a small pedestrianised shopping street.
