Which direction is the photograph taken from. I used to live in Orrell but I can't figure it out.

The building with the tree outside it is now the Stag pub. The house in the centre with the ivy on it is now Hill's Florists.

Just one question,Where is the Post? I know that it now stands in the corner but that was not its original position.
