Description
Removal of the Old Market Cross from western end of Market House which is now the main entrance to Lloyds Bank. The Cross is believed to have been originally placed in the Green Market before being moved to Market House, then in Morrab Gardens and then in Penlee Gardens where it stands today (2016) outside the Penlee House Gallery & Museum.
Men's costume on one of the posters suggests the c.1900. The cross is said to have been moved from alongside the old Market Hall to the Morrab Gardens by 1899.
