WHY WERE THESE THREE BRIGG STREET NAMES CHOSEN?

Can any Brigg Blog followers explain the origins of three street names in the town? Brigg Blog doesn't have the answers. Can you help?
St James Road (pictured above) and York Road were developed for housing as part of a sizeable estate running from Wrawby Road to St Helens Road, added in stages during the latter third of the 20th century.
Saint James, who died circa 44 AD, was one of the 12 Apostles and Grimsby Minster is named after him, as are a number of other churches in Lincolnshire. He's also the Patron Saint of Spain. But why remember him in a Brigg road name?
York is obviously the capital city of the only county larger than our own. But why it was chosen for a street in Brigg is also something of a mystery, as is the Wellbeck Close cul-de-sac.
Nearby streets are easy enough to explain....
Churchill Avenue and  Winston Way honour Prime Minister Sir Winston Churchill, while Kennedy close remembers the US president. Both statesmen died in the 1960s.
Local geography is reflected in the names Ridge View, Wold View and Kettleby View.
Springfield Rise, Springfield Road and St Helens Road relate to centuries-old agricultural fields, while Holme Close and Kings Avenue remember local doctors.
Chapel Way, we suggest, should be Chappell Way - after a long-serving St John's Church vicar. Similarly, we have O'Hanlon Avenue (named in the 1960s after a St Mary's Roman Catholic priest) and Burgess Road (former Church of England clergyman). Messrs Chappell and Burgess both became Canons.
Yarborough Road reflects Brigg's connections with a major Lincolnshire land and property-owning family.
