Buildings waiting for a story ……….

There will be heaps of people who know this building and a few who can offer up its history.

Andy Robertson was on King Street in Leigh and took the picture with the comment “Generally speaking, Taxi or cab offices are usually rather grim looking places, not so this one on King Street, Leigh”.

It is an intriguing building reminding me of the London Underground Stations of the 1930s and W.H. Smith kiosks on our railway stations.

So, I await the comments which will give its history.

And for those who want exact directions, it is on King Street at the junction with Twist lane.

Location; Leigh, Wigan

And no sooner had l posted this and Christopher Roman commented "A building that's always intrigued me when I ride along the canal to Liegh. It was the offices and waiting room for a bus company. Possibly Lancashire United".
