Excerpt from The Historic Names of the Streets and Lanes of Oxford: Intra Muros
IN the year of Queen Victoria 3 Jubilee it was rumoured that the townsmen would signalize its celebration in Oxford by restoring to the streets of their city some of the historic names which had discreditably fallen into disuse and oblivion. But nothing came of that good intention; and the occasion was ill lost, since without some very unusual enthusiasm it is not to be expected that a busy people will engage them selves in a sentimental or aesthetic reform of which the first evident result must be a practical inconvenience.
