Naming Strategy
How the historic names of Newbury’s lost courts, yards and places inspired the new development
The Naming Theory
In the late 19th and early 20th Centuries several Buildings, Courts, Yards, Passageways and Places within the Application Site in Newbury were named after well-known people and residents of the town. These have all since been demolished or removed, but have been used as inspiration for the naming of the proposed new spaces and buildings. Some have been taken from historical maps and many are derived from association with the Ironworks that occupied the site for 175 years.
