Actually just spotted a number 3 next to the door in the pic... Harvey (?) Cockcroft Wool Merchants perhaps then?

The first floor didnt look very occupied when I took the pictures, and the same the other day when I passed the place. Could it just be the back end of a building in Greek Street? Like a tradesman's / delivery enterence perhaps.Alison

Looks like wool and cloth merchants were down Greek Street...
