Post Re: ORIGINS OF STREET NAMES

Re Exchange St - maybe there was a Corn Exchange there at one time. Anyone know?

Re Slaidburn - are there any other streets with place names around Slaidburn Drive?

What tends to happen a lot, particularly with newer estates is that they pick fairly generic groups of names & often they don't have any particular connection with the area, or any particular reason.

In Blackburn I lived on an estate which had Leicester, Worcester, Gloucester, Hereford etc.

Similar groups of streets in Clayton & Accy

Whether this is the case with Slaidburn I don't know.
