Yes you are correct, Fred Kirkham first started in the West End Area, then he moved to a shop in Church Kirk Lane (on the right going towards the Church just up from Grimshaw St), his shop was one of about 4 (Butchers, cake shop, Fish and Chips). Geoffs sister married an Accrington Stanley Footballer , I think he was called John Ryden, and was transferred to Tottenham Hotspurs. Further if my memory serves me correctly the Kirkhams then moved to an House on Blackburn Rd opposite the Lodge near the Queens Hall.
