Blackboy Hill, Bristol : ウィキペディア英語版
Whiteladies Road

Whiteladies Road is a main road in Bristol, England. It runs north from the Victoria Rooms to Durdham Down, and separates Clifton on the west side from Redland and Cotham on the east. It forms part of the A4018.
Significant buildings on Whiteladies Road include (from south to north):
* Broadcasting House (Bristol), offices and studios of the British Broadcasting Corporation;
* the ABC Cinema (now closed);
* Clifton Down railway station.
A shopping centre has been built around Clifton Down station, and to the north of the station Whiteladies Road has long been an important shopping area.
The upper part of the road is commonly known as Blackboy Hill, named after the Black Boy Inn which stood on the hill until 1874.
The origin of the name of Whiteladies Road appears to be a pub, known as the White Ladies Inn, shown on maps in 1746〔G. H. Hammersley, 'Survey of the Manor of Clifton', reproduced in (Clifton and Durdham Down: A Landscape History ), p. 6, Plan 2.〕 and 1804.〔Smith, V. (2002), ''Street Names of Bristol'', Broadcast Books, ISBN 1-874092-90-7.〕 There is a popular belief in Bristol that the naming of both Whiteladies Road and Blackboy Hill had connections with the slave trade: both names appear to be derived from pubs, but the origin on the pub names is not well documented. A map of 1826 shows a house called White Ladies, and the road at least as far as Whiteladies Gate (near the present site of Clifton Down station) had been given its name by that time.〔Map reproduced in (Parker, G. (1929), ‘Tyndall's Park, Bristol, Fort Royal and the Fort House Therein’, in ''Transactions of the Bristol and Gloucestershire Archaeological Society'', vol. 51. )〕 At that time the road north of Whiteladies Gate was a turnpike leading to New Passage.〔Tombs, R. C. (1905), ''The King's Post'' on (Project Gutenberg. )〕
