Horrell Road, Sheldon

Hello all, I was wondering whether anyone might know of the origin behind the name of Horrell Road which is Sheldon?
Thank you.
 
I have looked at old maps for the area around Horrell Road before it was built and there is no local place with Horrell in the name. It is possible that the name comes from someone involved in the development of the houses. I lived in Carnford Road in the late 1960s, which again doesn't have any name connection on old maps.
