Didn't know this and not sure which Grandfather either. Seems off Blackburn Road and behind the Spread Eagle pub.

Can only guess at some of the others by their name like maybe Broughtons Yard .. probably around where the plumbers shop was, bottom of King Street ?

Are any of these left Retlaw ? Cannot remember seeing any of them when I was young.
