Default [OT and optimistic] Wivenhoe Court

Hello!


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?


Why shouldn't there be?

And why is there another one in Frome, Somerset?


There's also a Wivenhoe Close in Peckham.

A MYSTERY!


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.
