Hello!
There's a village called Wivenhoe, in the depths of Essex. It's, well,
mostly harmless, really.
So why is there a street called Wivenhoe Court in Hounslow? Here:
http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=51.465926%%2C-0.376346
And why is there another one in Frome, Somerset? Here:
http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=51.236813%%2C-2.299442
In the latter case, there seems to be an estate with streets whose names
all start with a 'wi' sound, and i suppose whoever did the names just came
across Wivenhoe in a gazetter or something.
The former is more of a puzzle. None of the names of surrounding streets
have any link that i can see. A MYSTERY!

Why shouldn't there be?

There's also a Wivenhoe Close in Peckham.

I don't see any mystery. If there was no street in London with Wivenhoe in
the name, that would be more of a mystery.

I'm not saying there shouldn't. But things don't happen without reasons.
Except in quantum mechanics and the civil service.

THE MYSTERY DEEPENS!

If it was a fight, Cold Blow Lane would win easily, due to its lengthy
experience of watching fights between people.
