There is a clip on u tube of Mitchell and Kenyon's film in this area (1902),showing what may have been the tram ticket office.
It's lovely, Aitch. What is the little "shed"-type building?
I think the shed was the tram offices.
The shed would be the tram crews brew cabin, I remember the one for the Taxi drivers, very similar in King St West.
The builing next to Wallaces going toward's the yet not there Library St is J M Hall a Cutler.Later moved to 4 Library St in around 1908.I have an old pair of scissors with J M Hall stamped on one side the other has a heart an I and a cross on the other don't know what that means I will try and scan them and show later.

J M Hall 17 Market Place Wigan. We were given it in Birkendhead in 1967 by an old lady. Does anyone know how old it might be?
