A page from an 1826 guide to #StAlbans showing an image of St Albans High Street from our Pamphlets collection. It mentions how St Albans Abbey came to be built and why it still stands today, even after King Henry VIII levelled many religious buildings
#StAlbans #StAlbansAbbey
ALT Typed black and white page from 18th February 1826 titled "The Portfolio" in gothic script. It shows a drawn perspective of a town high street with four men next to a horse next to a bandstand like structure with a statue on its top. Underneath the text describes how St Albans Abbey came to be.
