The Mayor and Mayoress of Salford, Alderman and Mrs JH Lester, are waiting in the rain on the Crescent to welcome the Royal Party. The building with the black and white decoration was the Jubilee Nurses Home, now it is the Working Class Movement Library. The block at the centre of the image has now been demolished.
