That’s a great way to remind people to stop tossing their cigarette butts on the ground!

Hi Anabel -what a clever square to find! Great idea … I do hope they empty it regularly, though at least the butts aren’t on the ground. Seething Lane – a threshing path … I love our names and their etymology … cheers Hilary

What a quirky find! But one has to wonder how many smokers will actually take any notice. I too love those old street names. I wonder what the meaning is behind this particular one.

According to Wikipedia “The street is named after an Old English expression meaning “full of chaff”, which was derived from the nearby corn market in Fenchurch Street.”

What a great idea. And yes, I love the street names in then City of London, relics of its mediaeval past.

I like this, the Latin name made me laugh, but I wonder just how many people will realise the significance and take note?

It certainly caught my eye, so I hope it catches other people’s, especially the ones it’s aimed at!
