One of the commonest questions that we, as a group, are asked, is about the origins of road names in Rugby. Enquiries to Rugby Borough Council are not always successful, particularly with regard to older roads.
Therefore we have started a list of roads, which includes information about the area, the date when it was founded, the OS grid reference, the source of its name, some details about the name and some notes about its use. Due to the size of the Borough, the list is confined to the town of Rugby itself and its nearby districts.
In 2024 some 600 roads are listed here, but the growth of Rugby means a similar number are still to be listed.
If you have any new information about roads in Rugby, please let us know, and if you want to know about any other roads, we will try to help.
