Does anybody know the answer ?
George Street was certainly a contender .

I was always told George Street held the record at one time for having the most pubs on any street in Great Britain.
ReplyDeleteAlong with the fact that our neighbour, Stalybridge, had the pub with the longest name.
The factory at the Junction with Hoviley Brow was Oldham & Fogg's hat factory.
ReplyDeleteApple Street would certainly be the longest street, if it was an actual street and not the name of a country lane.
ReplyDeleteBut otherwise Great Norbury Street would have to be a contender, or Market Street. Or what about Victoria Street? That is if Newton counts.
You really can't call Apple Street a street in the true sense, it is just a country lane. Croft Street and Great Norbury are a very long streets but I think George Street just wins out.
ReplyDeletehello Tom! Nice to hear from you - hope all is well. I see that you are doing a terrific job with the history of Hyde. Local history is both interesting and very valuable, We all need to know our own background.
