"why do they call it North Pole Junction?""Because there was a pub next to the railway called the North Pole" We do tend to name things after pubs in the UK - Elephant & Castle, Swiss Cottage and Angel tube stations, to name but three. A long-dead railway station named after a pub that might amuse our American friends is Three Cocks Junction (in mid-Wales, since you ask). Slightly more decently, Trouble House Halt in Gloucestershire was also named after a pub (one that tended to get a bit rowdy, perhaps?). |
