This book was released on 2013-06-15 with total page 435 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The definitive guide to place names in Singapore. Place names tell us much about a country – its history, its landscape, its people, its aspirations, its self-image. The study of place names, ‘toponymics’, unlocks the myriad interlocking stories that are encoded in every street and landmark. In Singapore, the coexistence of various races, cultures and languages, as well as its history of colonisation, immigration and nationalism, have given rise to a complex tapestry of place names. Alkaff Quay, Coleman Bridge, Ann Siang Hill, Bukit Merah – how did these places get their names? Nee Soon or Yishun? Serangoon Road or Tekka? First published in 2003 as Toponymics, this updated and expanded edition of the book incorporates a wealth of new findings, from archival research and interviews, and sets out to answer these questions – and any question that might be asked about the origin, meaning or significance of place names in Singapore

Download or read book Grimsby Streets written by Emma Lingard and published by Casemate Publishers. This book was released on 2017-07-30 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A “fascinating” walk through the history of one English port town, told through the names of its streets—includes photos (Books Monthly). With a history that dates back to the days of the Vikings, Grimsby, on England’s eastern coast, has served as a hub for shipping companies and fishermen and a home to generations of citizens. Arranged alphabetically, Grimsby Streets is a journey through time, examining the meanings and origins of many of the town’s street names, from their association with the Danish settlers through to the Victorian era and the men who helped develop the town and build its surrounding docks. Names of the great and good who were forgotten until now are explored, as well as some of the many famous people who were born there, and where they lived. The book also covers numerous incidents that occurred on Grimsby's streets, providing colorful insight into the history of this once-famous fishing port and some of the many wonderful buildings that stood there. Included throughout are a selection of old photographs, some of which have never been published before, a reminder of what this town was like before change and demolition in the 1960s.
