There is no such street in Accrington.
When I joined the Fire Brigade there were a number of old log books and records of Accrington streets and hydrants, dating back to pre 1900, which I enjoyed reading, we all had to know the streets, roads and back alleys, not just for Accrington but Church, Clayton, Gt Harwood, Rishton and Oswaldtwistle, we also had 839 farms, smallholdings and isolated properties in our turnout area as well, which covered an area of 90 square miles. Even turned out to fires as far as Trafford Park, Lancaster, Morcambe and Preston, so you had to know your way around.
Retlaw.

I am researching my family history and a relative was born there in 1909.
