Title: Plymouth Bridge and Cottages, Chorley
Post by: ormus on Saturday 23 January 21 20:13 GMT (UK)

Does anyone have an idea as to when these names were given? Plymouth Bridge seems to span the River Yarrow which itself marks the parish boundary, so it could appear in old parish documents.

Thanks in advance.
