My maternal great-grandmother owned a tripe shop at 158 Whalley Road in Clayton from approximately 1900 until 1949. I visited the area in 1978 just before it was leveled to make room for the new motorway.

My mother, who was raised by her grandmother, recently received an old photograph of the shop from a cousin who was going through his mother's memenos and photographs, etc. In the photograph, when you are facing the tripe shop, on the left is a shop with a sign that says, "Beasdale and Co" (and we think it says something about "leather").

My mother always told me that Long Row ran perpendicular to Whalley Road along the other side of the tripe shop, but now I am wondering.

Does anyone have any information about this? Thanks!
