I am trying to name some of the roads on the 1831 map

Possibly
1 Corporation Road

2 Cleveland Street

3 Bridge Street

4 Argyle Street

5 Price Street?

6 & 10 Chester Street eventually becoming Old Chester Road further on and later

7 Church Street

8 Claughton Road

9 Grange Lane/ Grange Road / Grange Road West

11 Whetstone Lane

12 Oxton Road / Woodchurch Road

14 Church Road

I think you have named them in the same way as I would have done.

Agreed on 1-7
8 - is Oxton Road

or is 8 Olivers Street at the east end.

10 = Old Chester Road ?
12 = Woodchurch Road

Think Borough Road not yet buily west of Whetstone Lane - as it followed directly the line of the brook seen on the map

Very Interesting - is this from before the days of scale maps ?
