Wood Street Children's Mission, Manchester
A full history of the charity can be found on their website: http://www.woodstreetmission.org.uk/Who-we-are/History.aspx
Briefly, Alfred Alsop founded the Mission in 1869 to help the children of Manchester's slums. They distributed clothing, opened a soup kitchen, provided Christmas presents, organised holidays etc. etc. Wood Street is a very narrow street at the side of the John Rylands Library on Deansgate. The charity is still very active today.

Wood Street, Manchester
Looking along the side of John Rylands Library, it is possible to see the original building nearest to the camera, with two extensions. The original is darker, and there is a doorway with a double arched window to the left and a small square window to the right. Then comes the first extension with two pointed windows, and finally the second extension with square windows.
The original road paved with setts shows through where the tarmac has worn away, and there is a hoist along the right-hand side for unloading goods wagons. Wood Street Children's Mission and Working Men's Club buildings are on the right of the street.
