We've had reference to the history of some streets and their names in the past. Abbey Street is quite an obvious one. Willows lane probably had willow trees. Some, like Steiner Street, were named after people. Water Street and Lodge Street have got somethng to do with underground water and there was an actual lodge between the two at one time.
