We even have the East Lancs Road just in this frame. The A580 (Liverpool-East Lancashire Road) is the United Kingdom's first purpose-built intercity highway. The road, which was officially opened by King George V on 18 July 1934, links Walton in Liverpool to Salford near Manchester. It remains a primary A road in England and is known colloquially as the "East Lancs Road". Wikipedia

Another clue. This looks like a railway station.

This looks to be Lowton St. Mary's Railway Station LNER (ex Great Central)

Large country house or institution. Looks like it has high, French-style roofs with towers.

This building still exists and is known as Hesketh Meadow and is run by the local authority as part of the Childrens and Young Persons Service. The sign outside is obscured by ivy which makes it difficult to read.

I was able to locate these five photos mainly from looking at the photos on each side in the numbering sequence which were of Leigh and Prescot. This reduced down the area to search and I don't have a Liverpool Ordnance 1:50000 which I could have laid out. Then it was a question of looking for patterns of roads. Cedar, King's and Beech Avenues form a distinctive shape and I was lucky to find it without taking too much time.

Eveything fits including a distinctive house in Laburnum Avenue which is placed at an angle to the road. In the top left hand corner we have a railway station which would have been LNER in this part of Lancashire where you would expect LMS.

Really good job on these! We'll update the catalogue and post the new record here in due course.
