I don't know when this was taken could be just prior to demolition of the building?

That railway bridge was among others demolished in the late sixties, the dropside vehicle is a Ford transit in production from 1985. This photo could well be taken in the 1990s the Wigan court building is seen in the other photo.

Wigan Magistrates Court building was complete in March 1990.

I don't think the Pepper Mill was demolished for several years in 1990. I honestly don't even know how long the Lidl store has been there now but I would guess at 15+ years now.

The mill was demolished around 2003/4
