Re: Nuttall Street

This thread has been running for over 8yrs!!!!I think it likely that the street was named by Edmund Albert Nuttall Royds, who owned most of Woodnook and chose street names to match his extended family's names. That would be in the 1870s. In 1902, it was proposed that a street being planned on land on the top side of the Cemetery Hotel (Whitaker's Arms) would be called Nuttall St and run alongside Alfred and Northwood Street. The 3 streets never materialised. The land was owned by Alfred Nuttall, the brewer who owned the Cemetery Hotel ,who lived in a house called Northwood in Blackburn
