The lantern and doorway of the Fleece Hotel are recognisable.Also the WIGAN DRUG STORE shop can be compared to other photographs of the Market Street area which can be found online.

Thanks for clearing that up, Myg, I was lost. Smile

The same photo + discussion feature in WW Album: Item #12254

Speaking of the Fleece Hotel, I feel sheepish now.
Ticsmon, were you trying to pull the wool over our eyes? Very Happy
