I always knew it as 'Spring Bank'
Chemist does not look as smart as it did back then.

Yes Tricia, when I lived in Tunstall Lane we always knew it as Spring Bank.

Now I think about it I think it was called Spring Bank Pharmacy.

My Gt Grandmother and Gt Grandfather were both living in
' Spring Bank , Pemberton',when they married in 1874.
