Hello Kathy I grew up in Norman Ave Nuneaton -so yes much older than 1970 We moved there in 1952 and the house was probably 50 years old then !! Some Street names around the area were derived from male forenames Frank, Harold, Edward, Norman, etc Running parallel with Norman Ave are Bracebridge and Marlborough Streets with Princes Ave running at right angles leading off from Princes St Queens Rd runs at right angles at the opposite end of Norman Ave. Edward St was possibly named for the King- as there are Alexander and Victoria, and Windsor Streets close by, Never knew why Norman Ave was so named but often wondered so I would be interested in knowing if you do find out! Perhaps named after members of the council at the time the houses were built or the roads laid out? Cheers Wendy Boland Warwick List Admin Does anyone know the origin of these Nuneaton street names-Norman Avenue , Harold Street and Frank Street. I have been told that they were possibley be named after 3 of my Jeffcoate family so I am curious to know when and why they were named. Norman was knighted in 1970,( though I believe these roads are much older) Frank was a solicitor but I don't know anything of Harold.
