Re: Street Names
Was Canning Street named after a person or possibly a trade ie in the engineering field
|
Re: Street Names
I suspect it is one of the streets named after a politician - George Cannning was a minister. died 1827. I'll look further into this. There are no other streets that I am aware of which are named after trades.

Re: Street Names
I think that Colliers Row is not a street but is a block of houses within a street. The word Row is probably applied to one block rather than more than one. I realise that Rotten Row, where Judy Garland was snapped by photographers may differ from this.
Ive just checked Shurmer's Guide. It seems to agree with me. |

Apologies Walter, I ha missed that point. Quite possibly these cottages were built ( also Colliers Court off Nutall St and Collier St in Ossie) to house miners. Some rows of hoiuses were named after the builder or landowner, though I'm not aware of a Collier family in early to mid-century. |
Re: Street Names
I mentioned Marshall St a few postings back . There is a Marshall St in Huncoat. The connection between them is that the Whitaker family of Simonstone Hall owned both pieces of land they were built on. I am pursuiing who Mr Marshall was.A solicitor or other profession ?

Re: Street Names
I am sure we once had a well known CHEMIST called Gervais Marshall. Will have to search in my notes on old Accrington.

Re: Street Names
Re Gervais Marshall - still thinking .... Oak Street rings a bell.

Re: Street Names
It has been pointed out to me to me that Marshall St in Huncoat is much more recent than Rev Whitaker's era. So I looked up my 1951 directory -= Mr Marshall was a farmer at Back Lane farm.
Still in Huncoat - the Griffin's Head is so called because of the connection of the Grimshaw family with the township.Their heraldic crest is a griffin's head. |
