It's not a good old name that has acquired connotations due to recent slang, but is the place where people 500 years ago went to, well, use your imagination :-) Was a very common street name throughout Britain at the time, but later prudishness has got rid of all except this one as far as I'm aware (a couple are disguised as "Grape(s) Lane I believe). Look at it now and it's still a very narrow, winding alley with very old buildings on either side- easy to see why it got its name. I'm surprised "Lord Hereford's Knob" (a hill in South Wales near Hay-on-Wye) isn't in there. I'm puzzled as to what is rude about "Trump Street". Edmund . |
