The main road through the 'Village' is Orford Road because the first resident bought all the land around here, build a white mansion and called it Orford House because that is where he hailed from.

I just had to look that location up. I see the cross street is "Truck Street" and another interesting road nearby is "Mother Lode Drive" and "Chuckwagon Way." Probably a lot more interesting names there too if one wanted to look further.

Fredericksburg, Texas welcomes all visitors — just look at the street signs for proof. Starting at the Adams Street intersection, head east on Main Street and take the first letter of every intersecting street name: they spell "All Welcome." Drive west on Main Street starting after the Adams Street intersection, and the first letter of the intersecting streets spell "Come Back."

Interesting. There's a town on the coast along the ''Adriatica, SS16". The main drag has side streets pointing to the beach and walking north to south (though it's really NW to SE), they've got town names in the order of towns situated along the Adriatic coast, so when you're at via Venezia and you have to be in via Bari, and after a click and a half have crossed Via Rimini, Catollica, Pesaro, Ancona, Ortona, Termoli, you know you've probably got another half click to walk before reaching your target. Now, that scheme builds confidence you're getting there, but suddenly you're back at Via Ravenna.

Yes, that's how we do things. :D

edit: PS, if you Google Earth to Bari, near the harbor, you see a street structure, which most of the US towns have adopted too... blocks. Not as old, but Bari has historical record going back some 3,500 years.

Golgotha circa 1905

Golgotha July 11th 2011


This is an area of Lancaster where executions took place a high point on the way out of Lancaster the Pendle witches met their end here. In the 1600's it was open moorland the condemned persons were transported in an open tumbrel seated on their coffins from their dungeon home in Lancaster Castle.

The witches nine of the ten were hanged here In later times post 1800 Hanging took place at the castle at first public but latterly due to act of Parliament in private


The Castle ceased being a place of public execution in 1860. On November 15th1910 Thomas Rawcliffe was the last person hanged in Lancaster,The Castle remaining a prison until this March of this year and was the oldest Working prison in England
