Original caption by F J Start; Looking east along Collinson St.. C1957 by F J Start Jnr. Used in designing dust cover for Queenie, novel by Harry Cole.At the far end opposite QB was a yard of stables where a fire broke out one night during the inter war years. The rescued horses were led into the middle square and tied to the railings.My parents said that no-one there slept that night with the constant sound of metallic horseshoes shuffling against the stone floor. In my childhood you could stand outside the middle square gates and and call out in the direction of Stones End St. and be rewarded with a wonderful echo !!!
