SIR – The article “Road Names” by Phoebe Merrick in the letters on 07 September 2018.
Interested to read in this item about road names by Phoebe Merrick, referring to "Walnut trees being previously more abundant in Romsey".
I have come across many walnuts in my garden over the last 20 or so years and wondered about the land before my bungalow was built in 1955. I thought it might have been an apple orchard, but now, after Phoebe's fantastic knowledge, I think it must be have been those nuts! Had I known when I moved here all those years ago I might have called my home "Walnut Lodge" instead!
