  • Is there an article on the 1756 Act to be linked?
Although numerous sources refer to "an act" in 1756, none of them give it a name (which I would expect to be something like "New Road Act, 1756") and it isn't listed in List of Acts of the Parliament of Great Britain, 1740–59, so I'm not sure what else to do.

  • Watch for overlinks in history, Pentonville Road and Marylebone Road you linked in Geo.
That's what happens when you write articles backwards ... fixed Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 16:16, 9 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • "The village attracted Greek, Cypriot and Asian immigrants following World War II.[13] In the 1970s, the estate came under threat from property developers who wanted to demolish the entire site and replace it with offices, which led to demonstrations and protests, including supporters from nearby University College. The plans were cancelled, but the original estate was still bulldozed and replaced by a set of tower blocks.[1" -eh isn't this 20th century? Seems a big gap from 1871 to after WWII....
I've added a bit from the source that says it just continually expanded in the early 20th century, which should hopefully cover it. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 16:16, 9 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Nothing more for cultural references? Never used in a novel etc?
Was that a teaser or a genuine question? Yes, sure enough Oscar Wilde has written about Euston Road as well. He gets everywhere, doesn't he? Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 16:16, 9 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
