Stan 386 Posted May 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2007 To put you out of your misery(and I think Bamber may have guessed it) Parliament Street is so called due to a Mr Rouse being disaffected with its original title of 'Back Side'. He placed a number of placards and signs at the key places around the street with the name Parliament Street to convince passers-by that this was the street's name. It stuck.

.... 23 Posted March 14, 2016 Report Share Posted March 14, 2016 There was also a 'Back Street' - in Arnold. What has always been officially known as High Street in the town centre was usually called Back Street by the locals at one time - as distinct from the main shopping road, Front Street.
