To wit: https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/59687846
So, two ways: "Bartholomews" and "Avenue" or just one: "Bartholomews
Avenue"?
From what I can tell, "Bartholomews Avenue" is actually a mapping error
from some 20th Century editions of printed maps (not 19th as the user
claims), which *hasn't* been carried through to any other sources. I
don't see why we should repeat that mistake.
Both the 1880s 1:2500 and the 1950s 1:2500 have the same issue
that the "Avenue" is very separate from "Bartholomws" and the side
roads round the town hall don't have the "Avenue" at all:
