no town street name

silly question, but for some strange reason i was thinking of street names
I know we have a Blackburn Rd, Accrington Rd, Church st, Baxenden rd, Manchester rd...etc..All Town rds!!
So why dont we have a Oswaldtwistle rd? was it not that important to be given a street name

I know ....its a stupid question and no one will be able to answer it, but it just popped in me head and i thought id share it with you guys

Re: no town street name

I was also told that 'twistle' was possibly another name for 'town' so it was Oswald's Town.

I've never heard of Baxenden Road.

Where is it? Is it, as it's name suggests, in Baxenden?
