What is Fuscia, Rogerstone
The spelling Fuscia is consistently shown on several signs in this area.
As the other street names are flowers, shrubs or trees, it looks like Fuchsia was intended, but the double error has been made official, it seems.
The current edition of the local AZ street atlas shows Fuscia, whereas the online Ordnance Survey map shows Fuschia (s and c in the wrong order) on part of the road, and Fuscia on another part.
