Book Synopsis Halifax Street Names by : Formac Publishing Company Limited
Download or read book Halifax Street Names written by Formac Publishing Company Limited and published by James Lorimer & Company. This book was released on 2004-11-03 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The towns and cities that make up Halifax Regional Municipality have a fascinating street-level history, spelled out in names that memorialize community leaders, important events and landmarks. Jubilee Road was named for King George III's jubilee year, but Barrington Street, Halifax's main downtown thoroughfare, has an unknown pedigree. City powerbrokers have been immortalized in such names as Inglis Street, Cogswell Street, Cornwallis Street, Joseph Zatzman Drive and Wentworth Street. Others--Rockingstone Road, Spring Garden Road, Windmill Road--take their names from familiar landmarks. In many cases, contributors have uncovered street name histories that were once completely obscure. Halifax Street Names includes contributions from writers with a lively interest in local history, giving derivations and brief histories of more than 180 streets in Bedford, Dartmouth, Halifax and Sackville.

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.This book is a complete listing of all place names since 1936, together with the most comprehensive annotations to date — a first in Singapore. It is also the only book of its kind that analyses naming trends. Information on the origins or date of naming was based on primary sources such as old maps, minutes of municipal meetings, Chinese books and digitised newspapers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, first published in 2000, draws on the great wealth of associations of street-names in Cambridge. It is not a dictionary, but it provides a series of entries on such topics as the Reformation, George IV and his wife, twentieth-century British scientists, businessmen, Elizabethan times, medieval Cambridge, mayors, millers, and builders. It includes hermits and coal merchants, field marshals and laundresses, martyrs and bombers, unscrupulous politicians and the founder of a Christian community, Cromwell and Newton, an Anglo-Saxon queen and the discoverer of Uranus - all people who lived in or often visited Cambridge. The ancient Stourbridge fair is included, along with castles and boat-races, sewage pumps and the original Hobson of 'Hobson's Choice'. Who was St Tibb? Where did Dick Turpin hide? Where was the medieval takeaway? Unlike earlier works, this is a history of everybody for everybody.
