La Belle Alliance Square, Ramsgate
La Belle Alliance was an inn north of Brussels which Napoleon had made his headquarters for the Battle of Waterloo in 1815. Thereafter the coalition of countries that had defeated him wanted it to be called the Battle of La Belle Alliance to commemorate both the inn and the alliance itself. But the Duke of Wellington thought otherwise not wishing his victory to be associated with the name of his defeated enemy's command post: hence the Battle of Waterloo.
It's therefore not surprising that the road accessed through the right-hand corner of the square should be called Plains of Waterloo.
