[OT and optimistic] Wivenhoe Court
"Tom Anderson" wrote in message h.li... Hello! There's a village called Wivenhoe, in the depths of Essex. It's, well, mostly harmless, really. So why is there a street called Wivenhoe Court in Hounslow? He http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=51.465926%2C-0.376346 And why is there another one in Frome, Somerset? He http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=51.236813%2C-2.299442 In the latter case, there seems to be an estate with streets whose names all start with a 'wi' sound, and i suppose whoever did the names just came across Wivenhoe in a gazetter or something. The former is more of a puzzle. None of the names of surrounding streets have any link that i can see. A MYSTERY! In the USA it's said that building estate developers always name the streets after the things that their new estate has destroyed. Jeremy Parker |
