Horwich End Shops

Jane Butler has sent an interesting list of Horwich End shops.  I

I wondered if you’d be interested in the attached document (I feel the need for it to be stored somewhere where it can be both appreciated and shared).

It was complied a few years ago by my Mum, Blanche Ford (nee Prior) and her neighbour Eric Mason, who both lived on Reddish Avenue in Whaley. Sadly they both died in the last year, mum was 87 and Eric was in his 90’s. They listed the shops they could remember for the 1930’s and 1940’s

Kind Regards

Jane Butler (nee Ford)
