Assuming that the street name was in honour of the then queen, wife of King George V, the name would come about in 1910.Of course, it could have referred to Queen Mary, daughter of henry V111.

If it was built of top quality bricks and the builder/owner wanted to record this, he could have called it Accrington House. I say this is only a possibility. Equally so, as did Blackpool landladies, the name could reflect his ancestry/birthplace. I call my house 'Acorns'. Some think I am nuts.
