Men and boys (and a few girls) mark Edward VII's coronation on the picturesque cobbled streets of central Wigan.

A rich assortment of transport is on display in this busy Edwardian street, including a hand-pushed cart, elegant horses pulling dainty two-wheel carriages and a much more workaday cart carrying a live cow - not forgetting the imposing steam-powered trams. There's a striking absence of women, though a handful of girls linger among the groups of lads on the look-out for excitement.

Note: Although dated c.1900, the advert for Edward VII's coronation in Mitchell and Kenyon 361: Wigan No 2 c. 1900 suggests the date should be 1902.
