Hi Ian
Thanks for your help.
Now i've seen the photo i remember seeing the building when i was last in

According to my map Queensberry Square is part of the High Street too
so this narrows down the chance that Manchester Warehouse, 91 High Street
and the Trades Hall Buildings are one and the same.
