Hi, yep, Haywood Road was named after Frederick Noble Haywood - important man, was Mayor for two years also. During the time he was Mayor, the idea of the cottage hospital started. (He was also principal of an academy)

Think Aitken Street was named after a Mr Aitken who was .....Town Clerk, or something similar. Feeling Ramsbottom Street was named after a well known builder at the time.
