What's in a name? This, perhaps appropriate, nameplate seems to have been met with disapproval by the residents when compared with other local euphonious place-names such as Quarley, Palestine and Wallop. The railway station is only a couple of hundred yards away but Station Road and Station Approach had already been used, so they honoured one of the better known Scottish clans and their street was renamed Campbell Close.
