This photo, posted by Ron some 17 years ago, is in its way, related to he recent posting of Wigan Lane. Ron added this info’ based on his posting-
"Listed in the 1881 Wigan Directory as:
Hague James, timber merchant, Standishgate; house, 117 Wigan Lane.”
On very early maps the space where the workshops are located is listed as Pendleburys. The map I have used is a later 1950 to 1970 edition and shows the same location of the houses.

Where the workshops are located was listed as Pendlebury’s Yard. I don’t know if these buildings were demolished to make way for the present day ones, but it looks likely, since they no longer have those small front gardens. However, the alleyway seems to have been retained.
