All the houses around the Crown were addressed as Dyke Nook seemingly and not Whalley Road as they are now.
Dyke Nook Lodge was not built until 1901.

At least Retlaw and I were singing from the same hymn sheet on this occasion!
If I may be permitted a teeny correction
Dyke Nook Lodge dates from 1907 not 1901...
Dyke Nook Lodge - Accrington - Lancashire - England | British Listed Buildings
And I see from google Streetview that the nameplate on the gatepost says Dyke Nook not Dyke Nook Lodge!
