The name of this street in Lancaster may make no sense but perhaps it helps to know that a ‘ginnel’, in these parts, means an alleyway. Where the ‘Treu’ comes from I do not know, and why this guy was taking a photo of the sign I have no idea, but seeing as I was taking a photo of him, perhaps he took the photo in order to give material for someone else to take another photo, in a kind of recursive thing.
It is named after Alderman Bernard Treu who was a longstanding Labour councillor, former union mine check weigh man, civic stalwart, governor of Skerton School and as I remember him (as a young boy) a thoroughly nice old chap
Thanks for the info Andy!
