The shop at 11 Library Street, Wigan, was John Heywood & Co. There was a Herbert Heywood born 1908 who I think was part of that family.

So:  H Heywood  11 Lyberry Street (misheard Library Street) seems a strong possibility.

Looks like it merged with No 9 and 10* at some stage:

* or at least No 9 if they were odd numbers on that side!
