Greenbank House is the first house on the left - nowadays Clifton Street lies between it and the next house up the lane - knowing when that was opened out could help date the photograph.

Unfortunately it's not been used postally, Rev. Long, so no clues there.

Do you mean Clifton Crescent Rev? Clifton St is further down Wigan Lane near the Fox & Goose Pub

This postcard was printed in Germany for Woolstone Bros of London, i think in a series of 12 views around Wigan i have a few that are postally used in 1907.
