Our Chief Executive, Steve Brace, was a guest on BBC Radio Sheffield on Thursday 28 November talking to Xanthe Palmer about the geography of street names.
Street names are a fascinating topic with links to the physical and human geography of Sheffield. Their discussion includes examples from Sheffield of Furnace Hill, Coalpit Lane and why Workhouse Lane came to be changed to Paradise Street.
Find out what the most popular street name is, what Solly Street (where the GA headquarters is based) used to be called, the reason behind Pork Pie Roundabout’s name and what’s so interesting about Coprolite Lane in Ipswich.
Steve Brace joins Xanthe from 2:14:50 before and after The Pointer Sisters’ song ‘Jump (for my love)’.
