My question now isn't a 'reasons' one, I want to know when Lime Street became Lime Road. It was sometime between 1930 and 1950.

Hello Bob, You don't know me, but I would like to ask you about a particular tunnel, that was used to allow the safe passage of monks, from Accrington to Whalley. My dad Malcolm Pilling (Brother of Kevin, and son of Raymond. Remember him/them? He speaks highly of you.) told me you would be the man to ask. I believe a greater force than serendipity is at work here, as I found you on this site, quite by chance. Dad still lives in Accrington, and says hello! PS, I am facinated by the many tunnels that exist under Church and Accrington I used to play in some of them as a child in the 70s. Cheers Bob. Wayne Pilling, aka Rolling Nome.
