My grandmother, Sally Houghton, is in the flowered dress. Not too sure of the year - she was born in 1910, so possibly late 1920's

Wondering if this was photographed at the top of Norley Hall Ave and the shop on the left is the chemist or could it be further up Ormskirk Road and the shop is what was "Makinsons Bakery" or the "Village Bakery"? Does anyone know?

It's not the top of Norley Hall Avenue.

I think I have managed to place the photo (via google maps). The shop is Pemberton Fish Bar, next to the photo studio, opposite the garage. The distinctive eaves on the far house can be seen on the existing house. They would be walking up Ormskirk Road towards the top of Pemberton.
