    Albert Square



    Obviously the square is named after Prince Albert, consort to Queen Victoria, and his monument dominates this public space.







    Dominated by Waterhouse's Town Hall Albert Square today is a wide pedestrian plaza that is home to a number of important monuments. 









    When I was a child the Albert Memorial was located on an island and traffic passed directly in front of the town hall.  You can see that in this old postcard.




    Today it is much more of a people place and often a venue for important meetings and events.  At Christmas a large German Market occupied the square.




    Mount Street enters the square from the south and on the corner is St Andrews Chambers built for the Scottish Widows Fund Life Assurance Company.




    Next door is Carlton House built in 1872 by Clegg and Knowles



    On the corner of Southmill Street and Lloyd Street in the Southwest corner of the square is Lloyd House designed by Speakman and Charlesworth in 18
