Quite a few buildings in Accrington have had names added, from other buildings, there used to be a stone in the garden wall in Rough Lee, that originally came from the Dolphin Inn. there is a plaque on a house in Timber St which shows Cow Houses. Cow Houses was off Jacob St, and was used as a reference point for census takers in the 1841/51 census. I've never come across any referance to a Coach House in Broad Oak Fold. A good stone mason can carve you any name you like, and make it look like its always been there.
