Re: Australian Inn

I wonder if he subsequently went into further property development and built Melbourne St, Sydney St and Adelaide St? There's definatly a surplus of Aussie linked names around central Accy.[/quote]
Adeliade St, off Abbey St, Accrington was originally called Swan St, its supposed to have been renamed Adelaide St, for Princess Adelaide, a member of the Royal family.

More likely Adelaide of Saxe-Meiningen, Queen Consort of William lV ... there are likely Adelaide Streets all over the old Empah ... We have one in Kingston, and one of the student residences at Queen's University is named after her.
