Wigan Fire brigade

Before the introduction of a national fire service in 1938, Wigan, like hundreds of towns and cities across the land, had its own municipal fire service. 'Turn-outs' were staged events to demonstrate to the local populace the swiftness of their brigade. In the early 1900s the steam-powered appliances seen here were gradually being replaced by internal combustion engines.

Behind the old , old police station at the bottom of King Street I think .

You're right Nordic,facing the top of Chapel Lane.

That police station had a revolving door , and if anyone came in to complain they were shoved in the door and rotated out , usually landing in the middle of King Street ,simple times.

Haha I can see it
