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.


You think? Are there streets named after all of England's umpty
hojillion villages in London?


Probably not, but there's probably several streets named after each coastal
town.

3 Frinton Roads in London and a 4th in Sidcup.
Numerous Walton Roads and Walton Avenues (but there are also numerous
villages called Walton)
