How about "The Tim Bobbin".

John Collier (18 December 1708–14 July 1786) was an English caricaturist and satirical poet known by the pseudonym of Tim Bobbin, or Timothy Bobbin. Collier styled himself as the Lancashire Hogarth.

He regularly travelled to Rochdale to sell his work in the local pubs where most of the business of Rochdale was conducted as there was no cloth hall at that time. People in the pubs would ask him to draw portraits of them and their friends and he would charge on the basis of the number of heads in the picture.,,

... He died in 1786 leaving the sum of £50 and was buried in the cemetery of Rochdale Parish Church, St. Chad's.

How about naming it after Betty? The road name was changed to Sir Isaac Newton Way a few years back.

'A herbalist named Betty Nuppy (yes, there was a road named after her, running between Kingsway and Stiups Lane) used to drive a horse and cart up to the Blackstone Edge area to collect herbs for her salves and remedies. She was known as one of Rochdale's Wise Women.'

What about 'the Way Out' as it's close to the M62

Not looked properly through the thread so don't know if it's been said but what about 'Faraday Arms'

That's quite topical, as a number of terraced houses in the area are used for herbalist purposes today.
