Teetotal Street, St Ives.....

....... a strange name for a street. Reading up on the history I discovered this :

“The Methodist movement began in the eighteenth century with John Wesley, he visited Cornwall often to carry out his open-air sermons to miners and village folk alike. He must have taken note of the ‘thirsty’ Cornish culture and pushed for new ways, like street names, to spread his abstinence movement.”

Well, that explains it!!
