There is no confusion. If my last photo and list don't convince you that The Slater's was at Number 13 Whalley Rd when the dilapidated photo was taken (and not 23 as you said), then nothing will convince you.
The directories of the time say it was No 13, the number of properties on the old OS map point to it being No 13, the electoral registers katex has checked out have a Mr A Westwell at No 13 and my last photograph has Steinway House (the name is atop the building) as No 11, therefore common sense should tell you the next property (just over Marquis St) on Whalley Rd is No 13.
Even the evidence looked at coming down Whalley Rd has The Slater's at No 13. The directories have The Hope & Anchor at 21 - 23 (sometimes 19,21 & 23), now work backwards and The Slaters is No 13. Take the young soldiers army record that Andrew gave us, he gives his address as the Hope & Anchor 21 - 23 Whalley Rd. Work back again and The Slater's is No 13.
I don't care what number The Hope & Anchor is now, but back in the time of the dilapidated Slater's photo, the Hope was No 21- 23, making the Slater's Arms on the corner, just lower down by three properties NUMBER 13.
