Another 'up market' shop... I can imagine the smell walking through the door - many ingredients for cough linctus and ointments and perfume from soaps and bath salts and lotion and cosmetics.. A good old fashioned chemist shop.

Does anyone know if this shop as well as being a Chemist & Photographic Supplies used to have paintings for sale in the window ? My brother now in his 80s remembers such a shop when he was a boy in Wigan.
