STREETS OFLONDON
Nearly All of Them Were Named
After Someone.
Each Has a Meaning, but Owing to
Misspelling, Etc., It Is Impossible
to Conjecture Their Original
Purport.
London.Those who are most fa
miliar with the London streets prob
ably think least about their history.
But the stranger who at rare inter
vals, or possibly for the first time in
his life, visits the metropolis, must
often speculate as to the origin of
this or that thoroughfare, or wonder
how some of the curiously-named
streets he passes through came by
their names. Since it has always
been the custom in this country to
name the ways of towns and cities
after somebody or something, one may
be sure that every one of the names
of London streets once had a special
meaning, though that meaning has so
much lost its point in the course of
time, or the original spelling has been
so corrupted, that it is now in many
cases practically impossible even to
conjecture the original purport of
the place-names of the metropolis.
