The unusual name Yellow Hundred is possibly the old name of this area. Historically, in England (and later Ireland), a hundred was a subdivision of a county having its own court. It is also unusual for a street name in the UK to start with "Yellow". According to one source, there are only about twenty such, all with unique names. The most common names are those starting with Yellowhammer, such as Yellowhammer Road (Basingstoke) and Yellowhammer Close (London NW9).
