Forgot to mention in my last post that what is now Blackburn Road, Clayton, was on the 1890 map as Anglesea (sic) Street. The title of Marquess of Anglesey (again sic) was created after the battle of Waterloo for the second Earl of Uxbridge, who lost his leg in the battle . So that ties in with Napoleon Street. Will have to look for a Wellington Street!
