no town street name
silly question, but for some strange reason i was thinking of street names
I know we have a Blackburn Rd, Accrington Rd, Church st, Baxenden rd, Manchester rd...etc..All Town rds!!
So why dont we have a Oswaldtwistle rd? was it not that important to be given a street name
I know ....its a stupid question and no one will be able to answer it, but it just popped in me head and i thought id share it with you guys

Re: no town street name
I was also told that 'twistle' was possibly another name for 'town' so it was Oswald's Town.

I've never heard of Baxenden Road.
Where is it? Is it, as it's name suggests, in Baxenden?

Re: no town street name
Does this mean that;
Pickup Street is were to get a certain kind of lady or gent if that way inclined, Infant street was a maternity place,
Avenue Parade is were all the lonely Avenues marched,
Monk street is a religious oasis
Church Street for forgiveness perpetrated after visiting the Pickup Street sins

There's a former Hyndburn councillor kate who, although having lived here for over twenty years, still can't pronounce the name right

Re: no town street name
I love the streets in the area near the new hospital on Blackburn Rd
There's India St, Swiss St, Persia St and a few other countries - I reckon the town planner was naming them after his favourite holiday destinations. lol
