This, and its companion pic, seems an odd choice of picture to include in the book. These may have been early Council houses.
These houses are actually on Preston Road with Pepper Lane going round to the left. The signpost points south to Wigan and north to Euxton, Chorley, Leyland and Preston.

Thanks John I was scratching my head over that one.
Do these houses still remain as they were?

Yes I think so. I will go and have a look and also take a photo. Watch this space.

The two blocks of semis' on Preston Rd are still there, plus another two blocks, same design. According to the Google Earth sattelite pic.
David,
I have a photo of the same view taken this morning. As I'm unable to post this up, would you like me to send it to you by email. [Please click on my email link.]
