I expect the name could be as long lived as : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belisha_beacon or even: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wellington_boot Any older offerings with a vague transport connection? William Baker, of Baker Street - partial (and unwitting) contributor to the Bakerloo line name. Started laying out the street in 1755 That beats Lord Liverpool (after whom a Street is named) or William Praed. But St James's Park dates to 1603, and Leicester Square to 1630. I'll offer St Pauls's and 604 as the oldest yet. Can anyone beat that? London Wall? Aldgate? Aldersgate? London Bridge? Tower Hill? City Thameslink? I'm not sure I understand the question. Transport things named after a person from long ago. Christ's Hospital Godalming Je-Hove-ah Ashby-de-la-Zeus Seriously, Aspatria is named after St Patrick. |
