Birmingham's streets, roads and lanes are an absorbing aspect of
our history. They call out to us about long dead landowners,
notable figures from the history of England, Brummies long
forgotten, farms that have been swept away by the outpouring of our
city, remarkable physical features, distant battles, intriguing
foreign places and mysterious happenings. Questions as to their
origins leap out from a multitude of Birmingham's street names. Why
was Fawdry Street first called Noah's Ark Passage? Was treasure to
be found in Golden Hillock Road? How did Foulemoreslone become
Formans Road? Did Gate Street have a gate? What has Franchise
Street got to do with the battle for working-class rights? Where
was The Froggery? What connection is there between creatures of
mythology and Hob Moor Road? And why should the Holte, Gooch and
Gough families have so many streets and roads named after them? In
this deeply researched book, Carl Chinn looks at scores of street
names, bringing to life their meaning and those people who belonged
to them.
