Frontispiece: Henley market place in 1880
Frontispiece Henley market place in 1880, looking west to the town hall built in 1796 and replaced in 1899–1901. The obelisk superseded an earlier market cross in the 18th century, and survives in public parks near the river. Until the 1790s a line of buildings ran down the middle of the market place, containing shops, the guildhall and a gaol (see Figure 24).
