- xrd 3y agoI learned a lot from this wikipedia page, and I'm glad I'm not the only one who has read it (you posted it so that's evidence enough that you read the entire sordid article). edit: I'm joking. It's full of funny stuff, the names they gave these streets and areas is hilarious. And, it feels creepy to read it, I'll be honest!
- codetrotter 3y ago> it was normal practice for a medieval street name to reflect the street's function or the economic activity taking place within it Interesting. So unlike Cunthorpe, in this case the c-word part probably actually means that thing which it looks like it means.
- lostlogin 3y agoAre you meaning Scunthorpe? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scunthorpe_problem https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scunthorpe_problem
- codetrotter 3y agoYea, I mean that one heh

- lordnacho 3y agoI literally lived in one of the buildings in the picture. Bill Clinton lived in the next house, and tour guides will point this out. I remember when that article was featured, it was quite a shock to see my old dorm rooms on the front page of Wikipedia. Fascinating to think how that tiny little lane used to be the red light district.
