With "10 now in erection", Myrtle Terrace was incomplete at the time and the name may have been intended but not used.
A clue to a connection with Hill Street may well be Myrtle Bank at the bottom of the row.
I thought Bullough's Row was just a local nickname. I half remember hearing it when I lived there.
The earliest reference to Hill Street I have found is in the Insolvents list in the London Gazette of 15th April 1856. "WHEREAS a Petition of Henry Dawson, at present and for eight months last past living in lodgings at No. 1, Hill-street, Baxenden, within New Accrington".
