Sheffield Road (West side) : Heppenstall to Castles
Jack Heppinstall's tailor's shop and Coombes footwear repairs occupied single-storey premises numbered 45-47. Coombes were established here as early as 1931. Jack's tailoring business was also well-known, here from 1950 to 1966. These properties were demolished in 1973. Castles, the furniture store, standing a little back from the street, was at number 41 from 1946-1971; and Webster's tobacconists stood near the frontage, at 43. The latter address once incorporated the Olde Brown Cow public house, from the 1820s through to 1868.
