I am look for a photo of 118 Scholes, in or around 1851. This was the address of pawnbroker, James Hergesst GILBERT. If anyone has a photo or knows anything about this business, I'd be pleased to hear from you.

Hello JAZZY, Just thought I would update you on getting the photo I wanted of Ormskirk Road Pemberton.
I visited where you advised JAZZY and bingo!!!!they GOT me a disc of the exact spot I wanted not only that but the year was also spot on, it showns me my house and to boot the year is 1948 just a couple of months after my birth.
SO MYRA TOMPKINSON TRY THE ADDRESS ABOVE AND YOU WILL PROBABLY GET WHAT YOU WANT GOOD LUCK!
