I don't think that it's Market Street going off the building on the left. I seem to recall that the Market Hall sign stated 1806. Unless my memory's playing tricks. That building doesn't look like the Market Hall.

Newspaper cutting submitted to the site by Ron Hunt

Sketch of what was then part of Hallgate but is now part of Market street. The only recognisable building still standing is the CROFTERS.

Wigan Civic Trust have a habit of posting photos on Twitter without further info or credit. Means people have to do more detective work. Very Happy
