Ive had another look at this great photo. The building on the right is the Baptist chapel which had a school in its early days, which is why Infant St is so called. On the left (1951) the shops are No 1) Whitewell Dairies cafe 3) Leaver, waterproof garments 5)Sudio Moderne, photographers 7) FW Greenhalgh, house furnisher 9) A Bury, boot repairer 9a) Miss Briggs, ladies hairdresser

The building on the left behind the lads was a covered market, probably privately owned and in competition with the Corporation's market hall across the road, but open 6 days a week. It was of wooden construction and painted green I think.
