Can anyone tell me about this place?

I use a map website, <http://www.streetmap.co.uk> to find the streets through England. In addition, if there are any Accrington Greenhalgh family out there, please let me know. I am now trying to research current generation family.
Greenhalgh's had a floor covering shop in Infant St for many years. Prior to that they had a pawn shop, not sure if that was in Infant St or not - only knew it from early '50s. Two daughters, Clemmie and Ada. Their mother was my Mother's aunt.
