WHERE is this street and what used to be there?

This picture was snapped by photographer Nigel Taggart as he was out and about in Bolton yesterday.

Can anyone recognise where he must have been?

The angle of the town hall clock will give you a clue.

And if you can identify the location, can you also tell us what buildings, businesses or homes used to be in the street?

Nowadays it is overgrown, but judging by the surrounding buidlings, it must have been in a busy location. If you know, email newsdesk@theboltonnews.co.uk or call in at our office in The Wellsprings, Victoria Square, Bolton BL11AR.

Last week’s Where is it? was correctly identified by readers, Stephen Ashcroft and Mr DT Strickleton, who wrote to tell us that the mystery picture was taken in Horwich outside the Crown Hotel, looking down Scholes Bank Road.

Well done to you two. Keep your answers coming in.
