Sorry. No location data for this photo.
Puzzled at exact location as Manby's were at the top of High St so is the building which became Mattock's? See #76.
The one-storey white cottage - is that an opening to its left, into Albert Street? If so, by the 40s, it had been demolished and replaced by a two-storey building, going over the opening to make a tunnel passageway.

This is actually the site of Nat West Bank. On the other side of the road are buildings where High Street House is now.
Mattock's would have been facing Metcalfe's.

The small building opposite is the Wheat Sheaf Inn. It stood approximately where the Heart Foundation shop is now.

This photo is as was said where the Nat West Bank is now at the bottom of Sheep Street. When I was a child the Silver Library was in that building which we frequented with the High Street on the right of it.

The Wheat Sheaf stood where the Halifax Bank building now stands - there's plenty of evidence in this collection to support that
