The message from "Bob Eager" contains these words:
I don't remember Crossley cars in the 50s - they stopped making cars in
1938 and commercial vehicles 20 years later but, Daytona excepted, they were all car makers in the 30s.Daytona is the odd one out. A beach that became a model name post WW2 after Land Speed Records there including Campbell's in 1935 which record may have been the trigger for that particular road name.
It makes us blanch alright...
Didn't Citroen(1) have van rouge / vin blanc as a sales name a few years back?

(1) B**** umlauts...
Former Woodley Airfield (home of Miles Aircraft) is accessed off the M/Way on the Bader Way (it is where he had his crash) and most of the roads are named after aircraft. Though on inspection they do seem to have the odd artist too...

OP Comment. I was originally referring to the daft names that builders give to their developments - not road names. (obviously another interesting topic - but not always as naff)
There's virtually nothing downstream before it meets amuch bigger river about
400 yards away. The diameter of the dry "pond" is about a quarter of the width of the river downstream.The raising of the level may delay flooding slightly, but will probably increase the chance of the property immediately upstream of flooding. It may be OK as it's just above the weir, but the weir was inundated last time.
