Thread Name: Folklore: Street names
Subject: RE: Folklore: Street names
Back to an earlier track - we did havea 'Gropec**t Alley" here in York, but it was bowdlerised in the 19th century to "Grape Lane" which it still is. Billy Bryson lived near here for a while and may have picked up his story from us - most of our city centre streets were given posh names in Victorian Times. We do at least still have Whipmawhopmagate though!

Floreat Eboracum!
