Ok so you don't care what the numbering sysetm is today, and evidently you don't believe the old licensing records or the 1871 census returns.
Then how come the numbers on that block of Whalley Rd, have exactly the same numbers they had then, very large coincidence.
You have'nt answered that.
The Hope & Anchor was 27/29 then & still is, count the doorways back down from there, and 23 is still standing. Nu 21 is the one thats missing, its the vacant plot which is now occupied by a large ornamental plant pot.
You can rant as much as you like, but the numbers were and still are as they always were. Your flogging a dead horse.

Walter, I have proved without a shadow of a doubt, with a map, directories, electoral roll (courtesy of katex), an army service record (courtesy of Andrew) and a photograph that The Slater's Arms could have been no other number than No 13 Whalley Rd.
You have provided us with nothing but but your own rantings and a couple of census returns that prove nothing. We could even accuse you of fibbing. You told us the electoral registers, 1900, 1910, 1920 (and the others you listed) said A. Westwell was living at the address you claimed The Slater's to be, number 23. Well katex's photo disproves your claim.
