I notice that part of Gillett St N16 has been renamed to Bailey Place N16...
unfortunately, there is already a Batley Place N16, so there will be
numerous letters sent to the wrong address over the next 50 years.


I have come across several cases where roads have been named by
developers. There is a street in Grimsby called Thorgam Court named
after the builders Thornber and Gammon. There are two streets in
Ballachulish called Elizabeth Terrace and Angus Terrace called after
the developer's parents.
