Just been reading this thread again.

I have an old map of Accrington dated 1863 and there are about 50 streets drawn in red of the proposed new buildings, and the street names are already written in. So some one must have decided then, what the new streets were to be called. Most of the houses didn't get built till 1880 - 1900.
