There were quite a lot of Manufacturing Mills and similar industrial buildings in the wider Ancoats area. Manchester Library may have old maps online to help you, or the University? Sorry, but in 19th C there were rapid developments in that area.

Yes it was in the angle of High St and Market St.
Behind Hope Brothers ‘ men’s outfitters.
Rylands was a big warehouse fronting on to Market St ,from Tib St to High St
Later M&S prior to their move down Market St, in the new Arndale centre.
Hope Brothers were on the corner of High St and Market St.
They were Gents’ outfitters,Joiner St was behind them, a little lower down and across High St.from the block taken up by Rylands, ,when I lived in Manchester.
