I have just spent a happy hour on this thread following the discussion about the numbering of the Slaters Arms on Whalley Road.

I am not going to contribute to that argument but just wanted to say that if you look at the photo of the opening of Broadway in post 64, which I believe took place in 1936, the buildings in the background, between Cobden Street and Whalley Road, were still there then. You can clearly see the Slaters Arms on the far corner, compare it with photo in post 13 and you will see the chimney stack on the roof and the boarding on the edge of the roof going up to the corner. You can also see the lamp post/traffic light pole on the corner.

This ties in with a previous post where the poster, can't remember who, said they thought the building was still there in 1937 but gone by 38.
