Platinum Jubilee Celebrations – Tea & Cake after a long History Walk
Looking across Alfred Squire Road to the car park where the original Wednesfield Market stood.
Still in Taylor Street. We were there a while – holding up the grocery delivery van. The driver was very nice about it.
Having walked over Trapmakers Bridge (replacement for Barn Bridge) we wander up the canal towpath to pass under Church Bridge. We have a lot of bridges in Wednesfield – comes with canal territory.
No – we hadn’t stopped for a pint – albeit tempting.
What a friendly bunch! Participants in our ‘History Walk’ gather at the St Thomas Centre.

What we know of anyone in Anglo-Saxon times is drawn from a limited number of sources. The best known is the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle which is an amalgamation of various other sources, some copied from each other but with additional insertions.
