A Walk through Tring  in Early Picture Postcards

The Rose & Crown and Old Market House

Old Market House, Tring
Chadwick Series Tring

The divided back of the card suggests a date of around 1904, but the Market house was demolished in 1900.

The posters suggest the photograph was taken in September 1899 - See Posters of 1899.

The building in the foreground immediately adjoins the gates in the previous post card and is part of the Rothschild's redevelopment of the area. The building beyond is the original Rose and Crown, which was demolished shortly afterwards, and replaced by the current building, which is set back from the road.
