Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Historic Names of the Streets and Lanes of Oxford: Intra Muros The fact that in the face of these difficulties it has been seriously proposed by practical citizens to alter some of our street-names is a proof that the historical disgrace is recognized to be of unusual magnitude, and that it in icts a sense of shame on those who can be held responsible for it. And if the Post O ice should be refractory and protest against interference with their established routine it may be pointed out that their present nomenclature is so far from being universally useful, that it actually sometimes causes the inconvenience which it is designed to obviate; so that they might reasonably be exhorted to reform their system on utilitarian principles. For instance, the foolish appella tion Church Street' has directed hundreds astray and often disappointed the trysts that it was provided to ensure.

This book was released on 2017-09-28 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since 1819, more than 6,200 place (street and village) names divided into more than 3,900 name groups were known in Singapore. Based on digitised historical newspapers, dated back to 1830, municipal records and Malay dictionaries, the origins, meanings and date of naming for many place names are uncovered. As part of Singapore history, place names known since 1936 are recorded in this book. Although place names are fairly static in nature, there have been more than 100 name changes. The naming trends transitioned from English to Malay and then back to English names. Discover that Toa Payoh was not named after a big swamp, Anderson Road was named before John Anderson, a former Governor, took up his job and many more new findings in this exciting book.
