More about this scene
The 'Georgian' Borough Offices of 1937 dominate this view from Mustow Street. The buildings to the left include timber-framed structures, at least four of which have jettied first floors. Bell's furnishers dates from c1500, and since 1985 has had all its timbers exposed. The 1930s Burrell's garage had petrol pumps on the pavement installed in 1923; these were the first in Bury. Three different types of advertisements are displayed: Bell's plays on its name, claiming 'Bells for sound furniture'; the 16th-century One Bull has a sign showing a Papal Bull; and Burrell's has a square clock. The three-storey building on the left-hand corner was built in 1849 to replace the Globe, which had succeeded the earlier Cock and Pye Inn.
