Yes, the entrance to a multi-function building.  The building still exists but not the entrance as shown in the photo.

Surely the entrance to a theatre, or perhaps a cinema.

(I wasn't upset, don't worry).

Thanks, Beachbum.  That took a bit of finding as it doesn't show very clearly on Google satellite.  I doubt that I would have found it without your 'well' clue.

I'll put the next one up once the co-ordinates and any other posts have been put up.

You have it John Walker, it's the former Waterworks in the High Street, Leigh.

A waterworks built in the 1870s. There are 2 octagonal buildings with octagonal cupolas. The smaller building contains the well, which is 103 feet deep. The longer one contained machinery for softening and filtering the water. A steam pump pumped water into the reservoir at Hall Place.
