It will always be Black Boy Lane to me Will the road sign now read "Rose Lane (formerly Black Boy Lane)"? Maybe. There are a couple of roads in London that have changed names and kept their old names underneath but that may differ from each Borough |

That is interesting. I still wonder how the 67 routemasters is still able to make the full turn into West Green Road from there. I will always remember that road as Black Boy Lane. |

Please tell me the change is not to do with what I think it is? Would you like to elaborate? The fact of what the actual name means and how some might somehow be offended by it |

Would you like to elaborate? The fact of what the actual name means and how some might somehow be offended by it I see. The family didn't even want the the area named after him and they said it would be a waste of money. |

If the thinking of Haringey Council spreads across London then you might find that White City has to be renamed.

I guess you have to make a distinction between things which are actually offensive / racist and things just named after colours or without prejudice Else Brownlow street / road, brownfield street, browning road, Blackheath, Blackfen, blackwall, Blackfriars, whitefriars, Whitechapel….. |

I have to be careful with my wording but do feel the world is easily offended by everything now. I do wonder if they would include the former name on the new signs especially if being changed because it was causing offense.
I really hope this is not taken out of context.
