Great British Street Names

From the Downright Weird to the Simply Wonderful

Christopher Winn

After explaining generic designations such as street, road and way, this humorous survey explores the origins of specific names, from the ubiquitous High Street and Station Road to the unique Christmas Pie Avenue. Some – Oxford Street, London Road – indicate destinations, some reflect trades or are named after monarchs, landowners or local celebrities, such as Liverpool’s John Lennon Drive, while others, usually involving parts of the anatomy, are downright embarrassing.
