Exchange St. does, where my Grandparents lived most of their married life -says it's a Bye-Law terrace built between 1911 -1931.

I think it was founded by Jonathan Peel, and was bought by the Fort, Taylor, & Bury.
When old man Taylor retired down to Moreton Hall, his share was bought by Thomas Hargreaves, who eventually took over Broad Oak himself.
