Gosh, I had to put my thinking cap on for this street. Then I used my well thumbed Shurmers Guide - its at Altham West, off 27 Whalley Road.
Dont think I have a clue about the meaning of the street, sorry. This is all I could find, but not necessarily the correct reason.
General Sir Banastre Tarleton, 1st Baronet,
GCB (21 August 1754 – 15 January 1833) was a
British soldier and politician.
He is today probably best remembered for his military service during the
American Revolutionary War.
