I'll happily admit defeat Gremlin, when Retlaw gives me some definite evidence that the photo of the Slater's Arms was No 21-23 back in the late 20's / early 30's. So far he has been unable to do so. I'm sticking with my initial conclusion that it was No 13.
We've had illegible census returns that tell us nothing. We've been told that the Hope & Anchor was anything from No 19 - 31 Whalley Road (which kind of contradicts his claim that the Slater's was 21-23) and the latest, he has shown us some nice old photos of the general Peel St / Whalley Rd junction, which again tell us nothing apart from at one time, the Hope & Anchor had a big arrow suspended above it and it's name wrote across the sky.
