From a post I made elswehere on here:

I've checked the 1881, 1891 and 1901 censuses for Napoleon Street.

....between 1891 and 1901 Napoleon Street became (part of?) Whalley Rd, the odd numbers became the even numbers and the direction was reversed.

I've found the following matches :-

1 Napoleon Street = 170 Whalley Rd, 3 = 168, 27 = 144, 35 = 134, 45 = 124, 61-63 = 108-102, 71 = 98, 85 = 84, 93&95 = 76&74, 99 = 70, 105 = 64, 113 = 56, 155 = 12. Moorfield House = 8 Whalley Rd.
