Street Names

[joe cassidy]

You're right Byegad.

You'll always find an "avenue de la Republique" too.

You can tell if you're in a town run by socialists/communists because there will be a "rue Salvador Allende", or maybe a "rue Yuri Gagarin".

Best regards,


Joe

One of my street names is 'Railway Grove', as my Grandparents lived in Railway Grove, New Cross, until a V2 got it. As a matter of fact, a V2 got their previous residence, a railway flat at Folkestone Gardens, New Cross, where their youngest son was born. They're both parks now.

The Luftwaffe got the house my Mum was born in, in Ilderton Road, New Cross as well. She did have a feeling they were after her. (all joking apart, many casulties from all three incidents).

I have a layout with a road in the middle separating a loco works from a freight yard, so I called it Divorce Lane!

On my layout "Peltin Down", based on a typical West Country seaside resort, the road names mainly reflect various diesel classes from the 1970s or other rail based names, examples including...

Er, what didn't happen?

It's one of those meme thingies which just means

Indeed. Haven't seen your layout, and when I did a search for "Peltin Down" on the forum I got to see a really interesting thread about its design. So knowing what I do about your modelling interests... anxious to see your diesel hydraulics in action!

Oh, OK. I understand now - you want to see some pictures! 

Well, maybe if Father Christmas aka Santa Claus, St Nick (and various other names by which he is known - sounds suspiciously like a police record to me!) brings me a camera I might take one.
Meanwhile photography is not high on my list of hobbies and my last camera was owned around 1980 so sorry folks - no pictures!!
