The first picture is of Derby street, not as many will recognise it now to what it used to be then, "A fine view of Derby street in about 1910. Skinner and Son, the ironmongers and hardware store on the left, was founded in 1894 and is still trading today". The Church in the background, the steeple standing high, is still there now in 2008, so is the roebuck pub which stands more in the foreground yet not very clear to the eye.
The other buildings down on the left is the Manchester banking corporation building If I remember rightly, which stands after the Roebuck pub (this pub was built in 1626).
