Thanks for this katex.
Attached is a grainy old photo of that junction. Hopefully you can make out some of the names along the end building, J. L. Haworth & Co, H.Walmsley & Son and Riley & Co.
Now please see the attached listing from the 1935 Barrett's Directory. You will see that all those three (Haworth's, Walmsley's and Riley's) were all listed as being at Number 11 Whalley Rd, which was Steinway House. You then have Marquis Street and over the street, you can see the gable of The Slater's Arms at Number 13 (and listed in the directory as being number 13).
The original photo we have been discussing, would have been taken around the same time as the Barrett's Directory listing and wouldn't have been Number 23 as Walter said (which is what brought me into this debate), but would have been Number 13 (which is what I've been saying all along).
No Barrett's directories don't make one an historian, as Walter rudely pointed out to me when I first mentioned them, on page 16 of this thread, but they are a damn sight more accurate than his census returns or his licensing reports.
