Well I never knew that. I always thought "there was a possibility" that Joseph Booth had lived in Warner Street. Never knew he had lived on Cross Street?

What I would like to know is why did the name get changed to Warner street from New Street and who did the warner name originally belong to? Must have been someone important enough for them to name a street or pub after!

Re: Warner Street, Accrington

The street at a later date took its name from the Lee-Warner family, the owners of the land

Cheeky young pup, I've been collecting information on the history of Accrington, longer than you've been living. Seek and ye shall find, just as I did.

But I have "sought" and "found" and all I can come up with is the stocks were at the lower end of Warner Street!

Re: Warner Street, Accrington

This sign is another of the many mistakes on the supposed historical signage around Accrington, the Bay Horse Hotel, which used to be in Church St, New Accrington was a Coach House 200 years before the Warner Arms was built, and older than St james Church. The Landlord of the Bay Horse in 1660, was Edward Holmes. The other Coach House was the Black Bull, Bull Bridge, in Old Accrington.

I think your source should have read, facing the end of Warner St. By the time the Warner Arms was built on the corner of Warner St, and what was known as Mr Peels Rd, there was insufficient room for any thing to be directly in front of the Warner Arms.
Joe Booth had the key to the lock on the stocks.

Warner Street, Accrington

Borrowed these notes of mine from a posting in March 2010, under the heading "Accrington's Little Italy".

And .... going back even further ...... around Warner Street area we had an Italian Ice Cream vendor! In 1889 Warner Street was classed as "the most demoralising place in the town". Mr. Louis Brown, the ice cream man, had premises in Warner Street, where he had an ice cream parlour. (not sure on this, but a possibility we are talking the bottom property of Warner Street/Cross Street)- where once Key Joe's, used to be, then it was lastly Red Rose Paints I believe. Two guys were charged with obstruction. They had been seen on the Sunday evening, drinking and dancing in the street, directly opposite the ice cream parlour! The Chief Constable said the house was a frequent resort of youths and young women on Sunday evenings, the boys for the most part being found smoking. On one Sunday there were seen to be 57 youths in the house - 45 lads and 12 lasses! Another day 30 in total. On another occasion, 99 lads and 5 lasses! Reports had been sent to the Watch Committee and the Chairman said it was necessary that members of the public should be aware of this "den of iniquity" and parents should take need of what was happening in the street. He said he regarded the house as the most demoralising place in the town. He did not think there was any beerhouse in the town that suffered this type of behaviour. This was in 1889! Things never change, eh!
