Subject: Hill Street became Merrywood Close

I am aware of several street name changes in Southville, Bristol.
Merrywood Road was originally Bull Lane.
The road was renamed using the name of a local building.
Hill Street became Merrywood Close, but there may be a more sinister reason behind this street name change.
I would like to know the story behind this name change.
This notice is pinned here because Bristol is both a city and county in England. Bristol is not listed under the choice of counties. It would be confusing to put there message under the wrong county.
