- W624553826 abstract "The names of Oxford's streets and roads are fascinating and in many cases unique, but in Oxford, as in Wonderland, things are not always what they appear to be. North Parade Avenue, for example, lies to the south of South Parade, while St Aldates refers to both a church and a street, but there is no saint of that name. Many names have changed over the years. Although present street names, such as St Aldates, Cornmarket and Merton Street, have an authentically historic ring to them, scarcely any ancient street now uses its original name. Unsurprisingly, over the centuries some of the thoroughfares have disappeared altogether. There are also numerous abbreviations and nicknames - some obvious, others much more obscure. This book traces the origins of names found in Oxford, not only of its streets, villages, suburbs and housing estates, but also of the various colleges which make up the university, many of which have had a considerable influence on its streets. Containing illustrations that range in date from nineteenth-century prints to photographs of modern developments, this book is a must-read for anyone interested in Oxford's development." @default.
