Hello Bryan,
ive read with interest your blog and information on Haslingden and have an old picture postcard which may be from the area.
The postcard is a shopfront of a baby clothes shop and the number of the property is 58. The postcard came from a Macclesfield collection with links to Haslingden. I know its not a macclesfield postcard as I collect those.
I have attached a copy of the postcard and if you have any comments I would be most grateful.
Many thanks
Ron Frost
Haslingden derives from Hazeldean or Valley of the Hazels. It lies 19 miles north of Manchester in the County of Lancashire. A area at one time noted in particular for its Stone, it also played a big part in the Woollen and then later Cotton Industries from the 18th and through the 19th and early to mid 20th Century... It is steeped in Local History and can also boast to have one of the most beautiful Natural Valleys around, where thousands come and visit annually
