Hi Tommy it look's like Ormskirk Road Pemberton. I think the building with assurane on the brickwork above the window's maybe the old Pearl offices near to the T.S.B bank opposite the White Lion Pub. I'm may be wrong though.

Looks like Ormskirk Rd Pemberton. The shop on the left, is now a shop where they refill Printer cartridges. I remember the newsagents. Can't remember the name though???
