Thanks for the map. I'll pass it onto my sister. Very interesting.

In the 1970s, my mother made a trip to England, and while she was in the Accrington area, she found an artist who had drawn Long Row in Charcoal. She bought the drawing, and it's waiting for me in Pennsylvania when I can make the trip. I live in Baja, Mexico. Mother always told me that the shop was the building on the left as the drawing looked as if somebody stood in the middle of the road and drew the scene looking up. Maybe my sister can send me a photo of it.

But the map does show a half street or alley, so now I am perplexed! It really could be either - although I tend to think it was the back street - but the "Long Row" designation is confusing considering a previous poster mentionede that it was the name for Henry Street.
