Bestselling author Christopher Winn takes a closer look at our
Roads, Avenues, Groves, Gardens, Hills and Lanes. There are around
800,000 streets in the UK and the name of each one tells a tale. We
take them for granted but the choice of name can reveal facts about
Britain's history, geography, topography and nature, even its
politics and culture. From the most common names, to the rarest,
the funniest to the most notorious, among the many fascinating
facts, find out why the City of London has no "Roads", and where
the UK's shortest street name (Rye) is located, as well as its
longest (Bolderwood Arboretum Ornamental Drive). And why Station
Road is in the top five most popular street names, alongside the
multitude of Victoria Streets and Albert Roads. Devon even boasts
The Street with No Name, which of course has its own story...
Perfect for fans of trivia and local history, Great British Street
Names will prompt you to think a little differently about the
street where you live.
