In the pic it appears to be more smoother. And the majority of the shops on the left side dont have houses next to them...they appear to be a full row of shops or a full row of houses.
If it is between Fox street and Scaitcliffe st then they must be actually walking towards Church not Accy.
Hang on, just looked at the row after the Imperial pub and also the row just past the railway arch opposite Eagle st .......smooth brickwork, two story, getting closer to corporation offices in the Eagle st area...just a thought
Do the other photos help?

Great photos Phil and the chapel appears to have a gothic look to it.
Agree completely with you about the buildings on Blackburn Road.
Received wisdom about the Hyndburn road building is that it was a catholic chapel originally built 1850s which ties in with the gothic style architecture ans the two remaining houses, after Sacred Heart was built in 1860s it was used ? as a warehouse till it burnt down. But who knows, it was still marked as a chapel on that 1890 map...
