English Street Names.

The English towus have more distinctive and interesting names for their streets than American towns, in most of which many streets are simply numbered. London’s Cheapside and Aldwych are more than matched by oddities many times stranger. Bootham is a street in York and Botchergate in Carlisle. Norwich is assertive of class distinctions in its Gentleman’s walk, and Shrewsbury may stand almost at the head of a' list of peculiarities with Its street labeled Dogpole, which may or may not be related to Newcastle’s Dogleap Stairs; but, then, Newcastle has Pudding what may that signify? _
