Is that why you are seeking its whereabouts?
My mother used to work for Riley's Chemicals and Colours in Clayton-le-Moors just before and during the war and her boss Conly Riley lived at number 32. I'm trying to find out about this firm (archives, members of the Riley family &c).

From what I can find out Conly lived there in 1936 and a Mrs C. Riley (presumably his widow) was there in 1954.
