The name Long Row probably came about when it was being built - this was common. There's one in Sabden. Seven doesn't seem all that long but it would cost more t build than the usual four. At 144, next door to Thornber's chemists was J Bleasdale, a labourer.

My mother always claimed that there was a chip shop next door, so we were puzzled at "Bleasdale". I'll have to find out about Mrs. E. Howard.

So the photo I posted was not 158 Whalley Rd?
