This photograph was taken before the arrival of Sainsbury's new supermarket during the mid-1990. The building with the signage was Rice Jones and Smith Solicitors offices. Interestingly the passage way next to the office doorway led through to Baines Row. But before you walked into the passage way on the lintel it had the iniitals SB and the year 1852. SB was the 19th century entrepreneur Samuel Baines who was to own everything through the passage way which was known as the Victoria Mills square. Baines Row was a street with very old and poorly maintained terraced housing.The solicitors offices, Baines Row and the whole of Victoria Mills and other adjoining property was demolished and the new Sainsbury's was built on the site and opened in November 1998.
