Thank you for your input Andrew. All the Barratt's directories I looked at today had the same address for the Hope & Anchor. I looked through about 10 editions, from 1900 - 1938.
I have just one directory from that period, the 1925 one. I'll try and attach a portion of the Whalley Rd listing. You may need to download my photo and enlarge it a little to read it.
Some of the names at various addresses changed from edition to edition, as you would expect, people moving house, businesses changing hands, properties being used for other purposes, but the house numbering didn't change and the Slaters Arms was listed in all of the ones I flipped through, as being at No 13 (the landlord changed over the years, but that's all).
