No the Kings Highway that is within the bounds of Accrington, starts at the roundabout just past the Griffin Inn, up past Windy Harbour Farm and twists and turns its way behind Blue Slates, carry's on behind Higher Hey, then on to Stonefold.
Plantation St hasn't always been connected to Plantation Rd, in the past Plantation Rd was a continuation of Birtwistle St.
Google Earth shows some of the Kings Highway.
