What’s in a name?

Do you know anything about the history of the streets of Thame?



We are looking for any knowledge from Thame’s residents that can contribute to the history and origin of street names, from buildings to lampposts – every little helps!

For example do you know the origin of Michaelis Road, or Old Union Way, or Mitchell Close, or even Nelson Street? Or why several of the houses at the end of Nelson Street are named after Wiltshire villages?

Or pop into the museum and tell us your story. We would love to meet you.
