 History behind the street/road names

Presumably the road John Holbrook built off Ray Street was Hill Road. This was the site of the old Commonside pit.


An earlier name for Hill Road (see the 1900 OS map) is Pit Hill Road, so I am fairly certain that this will have been the road donated by John Holbrook.
