    It was renamed because there were too many George Streets in London according to the retired naming and numbering officer at the current highway authority.

    You should be wary of making post before giving due consideration Tom.

    15 years? Is that some sort of record? Should we call the folks at Guinness?

    started a topic lolesworth street

    lolesworth street

    I understand that 1888 was a time of geographic change. Is this one of those changes? Would this street be listed under george street?Dave
