From an old postcard that I didn't win on ebay.

Looking towards the bridge from Appley Lane North.Very early 1900s I reckon.

The grocers shop on the postcard was owned by Mr Taberner
in the 1940s.He used to call me "Dolly Oxo" when I visited his shop with my grandmother.

This photograph pre dates Mr Tabener, Evelyn.
It was originally John Rigbys.
After Mr Tabener i think several people took over.
One of them was i think Harry Dicconson as a bakery.
Harry now lives in Mill Lane after the the row of houses on the left near the 'Slacks'.
Who were your grandparents?
