Thanks Barry Interesting! I spent my first few years at 95 Tyldesley Road, but across the street where I'd have expected 134/138 etc to be, were just more terraces - maybe the botanic gardens were built over. I tried to locate 134 Tyldesley Road using multimap (before the OS made it too expensive for multimap to provide the free service - blast the Os's eyes) and No.134 was missing! The numbers skipped from 132 to 136. The Gainsboro Studios and Benjamin Partington must have taken many studio photos of people in their best clothes which are now treasured relics in family history collections. That's how I came across the name; on a photo reportedly of my great grandmother Sarah CHARLSON (allegedly nee ALDRED). People at Atherton Amateur Photographic Society kindly dated the photo from dress style etc, and put it around the 1890s. Either Sarah Charlson had not weathered well, or the old lady was of the previous generation. Peter Wood
