Subject: RE: What's in a Name??
I used to live in Whitstable, Kent UK. There was a loevly leafy lane that traversed from the Thanet Way(a nasty, nasty Road) through to somewhere near Canterbury. It was called Foxes Cross Bottom. Why, well because the foxes used to cross over at the bottom of the road in a small wooded vale. They built a new housing estate at the end by Thanet Way (now remaned to cover an European number).... The new inhabitants objected to their address, so they renamed the road Golden Valley ............ but the foxes still cross at the bottom. Nature will have its way.
