Woollam Place and Medlock Street were next
to each other, opposite Liverpool Road Station and leading down to the
Castlefield Canal Basin. The houses on Medlock Street appear to have been
very small, hence the move to the slightly bigger houses on Woollam Place.

Two views of Woollam Place, just off
Liverpool Road, opposite the Liverpool Road Railway Station Museum. On
the right is the street sign on a new building, on the left is the road
itself going under the railway arches. In 1901 the terrace of housing
would have started on the left just on the bend (where the cars are on the
pavement) and appears to have extended right under the railway line, there
were no houses on the right hand side. At the left of the photograph you
can just see the corner of The Commercial Hotel, which is also shown in
the 1896 OS map.

This is Liverpool Road, Manchester,
opposite the more frequently photographed Liverpool Road Station, and
shows both Medlock Street and Woollam Place. At the far end of the
restored building is the Commercial Hotel.
