At one time there was an effort to rename a lot of London streets to try to limit the amount of duplicated names, often the old signs would be left in place.

There are the odd ones in Manchester & Stockport that I've spotted.

Interesting fact. Apparently the townhouses on the left of the original photo were in an area known as St Stephens Gardens and were cleared as part of slum clearance work in the mid 1970s. 

Ironic how the modern replacement looks infinitely more appropriate for demolition.

Would have been a better pic with another Ford in place of the Morris Oxford.(?)
