My sister got the photo from a cousin who wasn't born until the 1960s. Maybe he just assumed it was 158 Whalley Road.

Actually Mack, Bob said that J Bleasdale a labourer was at 144, not necessarily Bleasdale's shop. And that was in 1951. If the numbers haven't changed, according to Google Streetview, no 144 is next to a shop which is on the bottom rh corner of Henry Street. This would presumable have been Thornbers.
