Warehouse and Shops: Mount Street/Lloyd Street

A new warehouse and shops are being built at the corner of Mount-street and Lloyd-street, opposite the Town hall, and the Corporation, taking advantage of the new building, have arranged for an improved approach into Albert Square. Messrs Royle & Bennett are the architects and also of another important block of shops and warehouses at the corner of Mosley-street and York-street. The warehouse in Lloyd Street was presumably demolished to allow the construction of the Town Hall Extension.
