Crawshaw St again....I was mistaken about the other farrier. In fact Myerscough occupied what we know as Fitzpatrick's. I had forgotten that King St extended to the river, so the workshop fronted both King and Crawshaw streets.Myerscough died in 1924 with the business still going strong. The more I think about it, the more I think that the Horseshoe would be named because of the Crawshaw st connection with horses.

School St....The Observer was printed here. I think that the building ran through to Edgar St. ( That street name will have to wait till I get back off my holiday.)
