Great photo Atarah.You're a starah. I date it as 1955 The botom vehicle is a Austin A30 or 35 van, the large salon is a Hu8mber Super Smniop[e. The postmen are progressing towards their 'walks' (rounds) from the PO yard further up Infant St on the left.

From my 1951 directory@: William Greeehalgh .house furnisher, had his shop- at 7 Infant St ( on left here) but lived 35 Manchester Rd (on left after Bank terrace). He appears to have been in business with Frederick W. in Infant St and 19 Peel St (behind the two lads on left) Nos 1-3 Peel St and 70 Blackburbn rd were occupied by Greenhalgh's Ltd, dyers & cleaners

Dr Greenhalgh was Arthur and lived 4 Cobham Rd.

Other Greenhalghs were living elsewhere in Acc

The family seem to have owned/occupied a big block of shops Peel St/Infant St.

I suspect there are descendants in the area still
