On the Bridgemanimages website the picture on the left on the bottom row,"waiting for the ferry" isn't local, anyone know where it is?

I can't make it out clearly, but does the sign on the bell tower-like building in the centre of the picture say 'Wigan Pier'?

Can't make it out either. Looks like cranes in the background. Looks like canals, not river, which would fit with Wigan but I don't think there are any cranes in that area.

goodoldphil - If you supplied the flower ladies, you might recognise someone in these pictures from 1983, taken in Williamson Square, and outside the Lyceumn.
The locations are still there, but changed a lot and the flower sellers seem to have gone all together.
