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.

Well, if it is Mary of Teck then she has a long history of having stuff named after her, not least the liner Queen Mary in the 1930's. We can't put an exact date until we see some more eveidence. And the road could of course, have been renamed at some point, as could the house.
