CHESTER-LE-STREET – PUZZLE

In Anglo-Saxon times, the name of the settlement that grew up around the Cuneceastra or Conceastre burn was combined with the English word for a Roman fort, which was shortened over time to Chester, the name used locally for the town to this day. However, ‘Chester’ is a common name for towns in England, and in the Middle Ages the second part of the town’s name, ‘Street’, for the Roman road that ran through it, was added. The first record of the name as ‘Chester upon Street’ is reported to be given in the Universal etymological English dictionary of 1749. At some point, the name was shortened to the modern form (“Chester-le-Street”, [s.d.]).
