Again Walter, these prove NOTHING. You have a photo that shows number 5 Whalley Rd back in 1914 (or whenever) and a modern day photo of number 5 Whalley Rd. yet there's nothing in those photos that identifies them as the same property (only the number is the same). Even if they are the same property, numbers 1,3,5 Whalley Rd may have been unaffected when they constructed Broadway, just as in the other direction of Broadway, the Hope & Anchor was unaffected.
Pretty pictures, but evidence that the Slaters was number 21 -23 back in 1930 (the approximate date of the original photo under discussion), I think not.
Even a humble Blackburnian like me can come up with old photos of Accy (Peel Street, Palace on the left)
