Not an easy image to date. One clue is signage for Louch, Son and Company seen at the corner of Exchange Lane (lower right); this company was reported as having "removed to this city" in April 1891,* so Martin's image must have been taken after that date.
A similar view from roughly ten years earlier can be seen here.
