That’s great that you were able to look at Mona Street. I did look on Street View for as name or a date plaque, but nothing can beat being there in person.

A quick foray on Anc**try has revealed where-he-got-the-brass and the source of the name Bute terrace:
John Jagger m'd Annie Marshall. Her father Soloman was stone merchant, formerly a quarry labourer, started to 'do well' sometime  from 1881-1891. I think we can deduce that the Marshall father-in-law helped JJ go into the building  business, from being a joiner, sometime early 1900's. Hence the houses in Mona St/Bute Ter.

The name Bute terr and the Marshall residence in Brighouse - Oban house- owe their Scottish names to Soloman's wife Sarah who was b. Scotland/ Glasgow/ Kilmarnoch. Maybe Mona also has a Celtic link.

I seem to recall seeing that there was/is a Bute Terrace in Brighouse – is there a connection there too?

Added: my interpretation of the renaming as Mona Street was that the local authority stepped in, but I have no evidence for that.
