poliphilo Just round the corner from here is a little street we go down on our way back from the big Tesco. It's name- Ecmod Rd- has been baffling us, because Ecmod isn't a name or a word in any language.
Must be an acronym, we thought.
So this morning we were trying to work it out. Our best guess was Eastbourne Council Modern Overspill Development- which would fit the area..
Not too shabby, but wrong.
Ailz did a search on line and found that the street had been built over the yard where they used to park the buses a hundred years back- and ECMOD stands for Eastbourne Corporation Municipal Omnibus Depot.
