No sorry, the PH marked on the map is the Albion with a couple of buildings, no longer there, before the canal. Go back up towards Accy a bit, the next few buildings are what we are ralking about including the symmetrical pair of shops and the Volunteer on the RH corner of the block on the corner of what is now Corn Mill Yard. The buildings you mean Kate would have been opposite the Con Club.
Have a look on Streetview, it's easy to sort it out. And the Volunteeer is no 229 so the LH shop has to be 233 as in the directory.
Have just spent an hour or so on Mario, interesting to see on the 1890 map that Whalley Road Clayton from the Greyhound down to the canal is actually called Napoleon Street and after the canal it becomes Enfield Street. But the building next to the canal is actually marked as Whalley Road Wharf!
