Was this picture taken outside the old Ashton Conservative club in Princess Road ?

All these band photos are from a book by local bandsman Keith Hollinshead.The book is called the Major and his band.
I have a first edition signed with thanks by Keith for the help and encouragement I gave him in the writing of his book.I had hold of the book yesterday and will check out if it says where it was taken.
If you are interested in seing the book call in my shop.The book is about 30 years old.

I dont think the steps to the Gerrard Arms were rounded! I stand to be corrected though.

I love the little chap hanging onto the window ledge determined to get in on the act!

When I saw this I thought it looked like The Gerrard Arms, I vaguely recall the steps being like that in the fifties.

To WP: I have no idea which pub this was but the steps to the Gerard Arms were rounded as in the photo.
