Dudley Street, Wolverhampton, Early 20th cent. This views marks the continuation from High Street into Dudley Street. High Street was a continuation of High Green (now Queen Square) as far as the turnings into King Street and St. John's Street (now Woolpack Alley). The premises of the Irish Linen Depot can be seen on the corner of adjoining King Street. The men's clothiers Dunn & Company can just be seen opposite them on the corner of adjoining St. John's Street. Next to them are Smith the fish and game merchants, Melias who are thought to be food distributors and Meesons chocolates. Further down the street on the right can just be seen the Dudley Arms public house. To the far left are the shoe retailers True-Form and Stylo and Thoroughgoods the grocers. Dudley Street represents an ancient link between Wolverhampton and the neighbouring borough of Dudley. King Street was begun in 1750, and a rigid building line was imposed - the first known example of town planning in Wolverhampton. Streets, Linen drapers, Photographs
