Talk:High Street

Time and Relative
I found more about Shoreditch High Street in Time and Relative:
 * The snow-cleaning crews have stopped coming down Totter's Lane. They have to concentrate on the High Street and the arterial roads, which mean streets where people only live have to get by as best they can.
 * [...]
 * The High Street is swept and salted. It was busy today. A lot of shops close most of the week, because of the quiet crisis, but open on Saturday morning. That means people have to get all their things at once. The Pump, the pub on the corner, has newly-raised prices for brandies and spirits chalked up outside. In opening hours, there are always motorbikes parked outside The Pump, with lads in black leather jackets comparing the noises they can get out of their machines and jeering at anyone who complains about the racket. They call themselves the Ton-Up Boys. ...

 * According to our page for the Pump, it has entrances both on High Street and Totter's Lane, so the two streets must be super close. 19:08, November 2, 2016 (UTC)
 * Actual quote: "The Pump has entrances on the High Street and in Totter's Lane." 19:14, November 2, 2016 (UTC)


 * Very cool. So it's not even newly invented. It's been there since 1963 under our very noses. Amorkuz ☎  19:17, November 2, 2016 (UTC)

Splitting
I'd like to propose splitting the two High Streets covered on this page onto Shoreditch High Street and Ealing High Street, as I don't see any reason they why they should be restricted to just one page. The only problem with this might be that neither page is directly referred to by those names (at least as far as I know) but there's nothing stopping us from using in this instance.
