Broadbent
 

Does anybody know the family of a Nurse Broadbent, probably prcaticisng as a private nurse in the 1930's. Living in Accrington in the 1960's, was a widow at that time.

May have lived in Willows Lane or Cobden St, Accrington. Where is/was Cobden Street?

May have family in Blackpool area.

Thanks,

Roger

Re: Broadbent
 

Cobden Street was just behind whalley rd,across from where Marys Music used to be, long gone now, soz best i can do.

Re: Broadbent
 

Thanks for your quick reply Cashman, non the wiser though! Mary's Music seems quite a famous place judging by some of the posts on here! What streets round there still exist and when did Cobden St. disappear?

Thanks,

Roger

Re: Broadbent
 

I'm with you now. Was it demolished to make way for the Arndale Centre?

Re: Broadbent
 

can't remember soz, the "Whalley Rd Congregation Church still remained after streets were demolished, but thats gone now. my guess would be yes -around the time they demolished the Odean Cinema/ Pickwick.:confused: was 3/4 little streets went together.

Re: Broadbent
 

There's two unamed streets to the west of Peel Street, one appears to be an alley and the other, further west, a dead-end.

The Microsoft map doesn't show the first one at all!
