Through the years many roads have been bulldozed, rerouted and renamed. A few still cling on, going nowhere with no buildings on them. Is Bowman Lane the shortest?

No, its just the way the road sign is placed. Bowman Lane runs fron Crown Point Road to Waterloo Street ........... Good illusion though
Is this the end of the story ...or the beginning of a legend?

Being technically correct hasn't helped me win many arguements with my wife.

I was born in Vernon Road, somewhere near Fenton Street and the newer Infirmary complex. I believe that most of it has gone under demolition leaving only a few yards, and last time I tried to locate it there wasn't even a name plate anywhere.
There's nothing like keeping the past alive - it makes us relieved to reflect that any bad times have gone, and happy to relive all the joyful and fascinating experiences of our own and other folks' earlier days.

That's now covered by the E C Stoner Building. An apt name for a student edifice.
