Tumbledown Cottages, typical homes for Wigan miners.

Thanks to Brenda for identifying these as Pendlebury Row, canal bank, near Pendlebury Bridge, Haigh.

Would anyone know the exact location of the cottages, where they actually on the canal Bank.

The canal ran the other side of the houses. The bridge was just off the picture to the left and pendlebury lane ran left to right across the foreground of the picture.
