Every street in Overton has a name, but have you ever stopped to wonder where those names actually came from?

In this special Overton Radio podcast, Rob Francis is joined by Jane Mackenzie for a fascinating journey into the history behind some of the village’s most familiar streets, roads and lanes.

From names that have connections to people and places from Overton’s past, to reminders of buildings, businesses and industries that have long since disappeared, our street names can reveal far more about the village than you might imagine.

Jane shares the stories, history and discoveries behind the names we see every day, offering a different way of looking at the place we call home.

So next time you’re walking through Overton, take a look at the street signs around you. You might just discover that there’s a story hiding in plain sight.
