Re: Australian Inn
I wonder if he subsequently went into further property development and built Melbourne St, Sydney St and Adelaide St? There's definatly a surplus of Aussie linked names around central Accy.[/quote]
Adeliade St, off Abbey St, Accrington was originally called Swan St, its supposed to have been renamed Adelaide St, for Princess Adelaide, a member of the Royal family. Retlaw. |
