Bull Bridge
Hi Tealeaf, good questions! Australian Inn - dunno the reason for its name. I only know that lots of the actors who were playing the Hippodrome used to stay there. Dont think I have ever heard why it got its name. Secondly, yep, surprise surprise, there actually WAS a weir, hence the name Weir Street. Am adding a photo, although unfortunately taken the other side of the photo we are "talking" about at Bull Bridge. Imagine you were stood at "L" on the photo, looking towards "R" - The terraced property you can see (with 3 chimneys showing) is the block of terraced labelled "R" at the bottom of the photo.
I have drawn a rough map, trying to explain the situation of the weir.
