Image: © John Sutton Taken: 23 Jan 2017

A typical late Victorian three-storey block, with replacement windows and roof tiles, at the corner of Oldknow Street. A faded sign above the door of what was a corner shop or beer-off advertises Hooley's Noted - something or other (the rest is overpainted).
