Its a made up street name, the poem was based on the environment in Salford, and there is no Beasley Street in Salford.
Great track though
This nails it for me

I’ve had this in my hallway for the last 10 years, and a movie equivalent:

It's not a road etc but does Sovereign Light Cafe by Keane count? It does reference Powdermill Lane and several other roads in the area.

Game over.

Good to see 'Charlotte Street' from one of my all time favourite albums. Actually Upper Street in Islington: https://www.theguardian.com/music/2019/oct/08/lloyd-cole-and-the-commotions-how-we-made-rattlesnakes

Electric Avenue - Eddy Grant. I’m pretty sure it’s in Brixton and was at the centre of the riots in 1981.
Baker Street - Gerry Rafferty. I think everyone knows where that is.
Warwick Avenue - Duffy. Just around the corner from Baker Street.
Plaistow Patricia - Ian Dury and the Blockheads. Look, this just deserves to be mentioned because it’s rude and brilliant and has the Mile End Road in the lyrics.
An under rated album. A proper band on top form.
