| 词条 | Meard Street |
| 释义 |
Meard Street is a street in Soho, London. It runs roughly east–west (properly, east-northeast to west-southwest, as elsewhere in Soho), between Wardour Street to the west and Dean Street to the east. It is in two sections, with a slight bend in the middle: the west half is pedestrianised, while the east half is a narrow, single-lane road. The street is named after John Meard, the younger, a carpenter, later esquire, who developed it in the 1720s and 1730s.[1] It is prominently featured in photographs and postcards for the tourist trade, due to the pun with {{lang-fr|merde}} and {{lang-it|merda}} ("shit"). HistoryThe two halves occupy what were originally two separate, non-communicating 17th-century courts. They were developed in two halves: the western half, Meard's Court, in 1722, and the eastern half, Dean's Court (opening off Dean Street, and renamed Meard Street) in 1731/32. As part of the redevelopment of Dean's Court, the two halves were joined in 1732/33.[1] Notable occupants
