I have an address and believe that this was a store. How do I find out what was at 214 Tulketh Brow Ashton-on-Ribble. I have tried googling it but haven't been successful
Thankyou Jayne

Hi, the problem I have is that I am stuck at home at the moment.
Is there anything online that can help.

You can join Lancashire Libraries on line and do some research....cost you nothing to find out.
