I think that they will be excavating the bottom corner of The Galleries, at the junction of Market Street and New Market Street, which at that location is about 124ft above sea level LINK so it would have had to have been a bloody high tide to get up the River Douglas to near to that location, and in olden times the River Douglas was navigable as far as Wigan, but I am not sure of it being 'tidal' as far up as Wigan
