The name of this road still gives pronunciation difficulties to 'comed-off 'uns', whether they be from Karachi or Kenilworth, or London or Lahore. For those who would learn, it is said in two halves separated by a glottal stop, thus: "Welli*thlane", where * represents the glottal stop. Practice a bit, and you'll get it. The fish and chip shop on the left has been one for at least sixty years, but appears to be out of use and ready to fold.
