    Time to undo historical changes of street names (NSFW)

      Wow, some truly indepth analysis of the street name's origins there:

      Gropec**t, the earliest known use of which is in about 1230, appears to have been derived as a compound of the words grope and c**t.

        I'm liking the fact the names represent what goes on in the street..for example.. GC says

        it was part of a collection of streets which appears to have survived as a small island of prostitution outside Southwark,
        I don't this lot would welcome tthis naming style though.

              Not to be confused with nearby Bolton which is currently a waste tip.

                    This is an artists impression of the regeneration plans. The building in the photo is the Carrs Pastie shop.
