MARKET DAY
The original marketplace
was to the south of St Mary's Church in the centre of Leigh. This
area is now taken by the Civic Square. Where the buildings entitled
"Barney's Bazaar" stand in this photograph is now the
site of Leigh Library. The road pictured is Market Street.
This photograph was
taken from the tower of St Mary's Church. It shows the market
surrounding the buildings known as "Barney's Bazaar".
The large building that is top centre is Leigh Town Hall (built
1903).
