Re: Information about Clayton
The chip shop on Whalley Rd, was called Dora's, then it became Chans, in the 60s, there was a mill in Well St, it was a printers, called the Cambridge Press, the entrance was from Whalley Rd, next to the bus stop that was set back into the building, I think there was a betting shop next to the Chippy. Next to the Star Cinema, was Star alley, then three shops, a butchers, green grocers and a dry Cleaners.

Re: Information about Clayton
Would I be right in remembering Norman Clough having an electrical shop at the corner of Well St and Whalley Rd.

Re: Information about Clayton
That's right. I was in the same class at All saints as his daughter who I think was called Barbara.

Re: Information about Clayton
Hello Accrington! We had a long discussion about the location of my great-grandmother's tripe shop at 158 Whalley Road in Clayton le Moors. You gave me a lot of valuable information. Just happened to be surfing and checked eBay. There are several photographs of processions in Clayton, and I am wondering about this one. If you look at the fourth girl on the right, there seems to be a number "15.." above her head, and I am wondering if anybody can recognize the location of this photo. Grandma's shop was on a corner, but I think the street looks too wide to be "Back Row". I posted a charcoal drawing of Back Row and the side of Grandma's shop somewhere in this thread. I'm probably just being whimsical! You may have to enlarge the photo to get a better look. Thanks!
P.S. I posted under the nick, "Mack" in this thread, but I cannot access the account. http://tinyurl.com/kgwv8g5 |
Re: Information about Clayton
Just a guess but if those are tram lines I would say that this is Whalley Rd and a further guess would be between the Burnley Rd junction and the canal bridge.

Re: Information about Clayton
Looks summat like Whalley Rd, across from Hare @ Hounds to me?

Re: Information about Clayton
I reckon that the building far right is the Volunteer Pub with the Old Commercial Pub (now Balti Stan) up towards the left.
Or possibly Albion looking up to Volunteer Pub |

Re: Information about Clayton
I think the road too flat to be where the postings so far surmise. The tram terminus was at the canal bridge, so it has to be higher up than that. I favour on the Acc side of the Load of Mischief junction. I don't know the names of the streets, but I think the bike shop was on the lift of this pic. 15 Whalley Rd is just before the junction with Whinfield St ( so my 1951 directory tells me, when Mrs Pickup lived there) The last number on each row was a shop. The Load of Mischief was between 137 and 151, the Vol was 229, Hare & Hounds 147. Maurice Green, cycle dealer was 86.
