Atherton Buildings name change to Rigby's Buildings[edit]

Newspaper articles at the British Newspaper Archive, suggest it was still named Atherton Buildings well into the 1860s and was also used as an auction house. The first reference I can find to "Rigby's Buildings" is the 4th January 1866 edition of the Manchester Courier and Lancashire General Advertiser. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Scouserdave (talk • contribs) 16:01, 14 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
