This inscription is on the front wall of the Guildhall in Bore Street WS13 6LU. It has the following wording:
THIS GUILDHALL stands on the site used for the Guild, or Fraternity,
of citizens, established in 1387 by RICHARD II., which Guild continued for
161 years under 9 Monarchs, and was finally dissolved under EDWARD VI. in
1548.
The present building was erected in 1846 by the Trustees of the
LICHFIELD CONDUIT LANDS, to whom the ancient Guild, in the year 1545,
gave valuable properties out of their possessions to supply the citizens with
water, and for their common weal.
Her late Most Gracious Majesty, QUEEN VICTORIA, visited this City in 1832,
and again in 1843.
In 1894, His Majesty, King Edward VII. (as Prince of Wales), was received here
on the occasion of the Centenary of the Queen's Own Royal Staffordshire
Yeomanry Cavalry.
