I've attached further proof that it was originally 21& 23 Whalley Rd,
The licensing renewals show it & the 1871 Census gives the same information. How much more proof is he going to need, before he puts his hand up.

Once again Walter. What relevance has the 1871 census got to do with a late 1920's /1930's photograph. There's close on a 60 year time frame there. I could name you many pubs in Blackburn that have been and gone, changed name, changed proprietors over the last 10 years, never mind over a 60 year period.
You are clutching at straws sir and your comment ''Why should I back down when I know I'm right'' just about says it all. There's not even a mere hint from you to suggest that I might (just might) be correct. It's that arrogance and attitude that brought me into this discussion. I took umbrage at the fact that you were (seemingly) reprimanding more junior members, because they dared to offer opinions on a discussion that you had already decided was done and dusted (even though it wasn't).
Yes, you carry on telling everyone you're right, produce as many documents you like (irrelevant as they are), but if people study the evidence enough, they will arrive at their own conclusion.
I've had enough experience when researching local history to know that no single source is evidence enough, there's a need to cross reference and cross reference again, but if some want to believe you are right, because YOU say you're right, that is their choice.
