I remember that church and have a dvd of a wedding there in the 1930s, taken from a cine-film. How strange to see Walthew Lane with setts instead of tarmac!

Irene, I think this was taken in Peel Street, at the side of the church.

B, thankyou, and you're probably right, as that's where they would have sorted out the order of procession. But I think Walthew Lane WAS cobbled at one time, as were most of the main roads which most of us only recall being covered in tarmac; a lot of the side streets remained cobbled. It was the same in Ince, where I lived as a child.
