Are there any roads in your neighbourhood named after people? Mainly famous people?
In my immediate area there's roads named after the following historical figures...
Prince Consort Albert (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert,_Prince_Consort)
Queen-Empress Victoria (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queen_Victoria)
Queen Alexandra (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexandra_of_Denmark)
Earl (General) Kitchener (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herbert_Kitchener,_1st_Earl_Kitchener)
Quite fitting really given the area was Victorian built and very grand in its imperial heyday. In much the same way just down the road, I came across a street a month or two ago named after the first leader of the Labour Party, Keir Hardie (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keir_Hardie), fittingly a post-war council street.
I thought what an interesting contrast not only in design but what the streets were named after.
How about you?
