Here in Newcastle upon Tyne we have a Percy Street (the Percy family were the original Earls of Northumberland) and a Grainger Street (Richard Grainger was a 19th century property developer who rebuilt much of central Newcastle). They are close neighbours, but they don't quite intersect. That's a pity, because if they did meet there might have been a music shop on the corner of Percy and Grainger... |
