Anachronistic Streets names
Posted: Wed Jul 12, 2006 8:20 am
Radio 4's today programme had a bit this morning on street names that could be changed as a result of changed thinking from when the streets were originally named. http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/today/
They gave Stalin Road in Colchester as an example. They also mentioned a Havelock Street in Leicester - Havelock was a British general invoved in trying to quell the Indian Mutiny. Glasgow's Havelock Street is of course in Partick.
So are any other streets in Glasgow that if we were really that bothered should have their name changed as a result of a change we think about events in history?
