This cache has been archived.

geoibsons: Due to not being psychic I had no idea the log book was full. Not going to bother changing your name on to this cache, in fact after that feedback I'll just archive it altogether to save any future cachers any disappointment. Thank you to those that did find it interesting and the fave points.

Geocache Description:

Welcome to a right royal couple of roads

Most of the roads in Kew were built on land owned by the Selwyns, and they picked the road names. However, a couple of roads were built on fields that didn't belong to the Selwyn's at all. They belonged to the Crown, having been outlying paddocks of George III's farm. Two roads, therefore, had royal names - Alexandra and Battenberg.

Alexandra Road was unfortunately hit by a bomb during The Blitz. It fell on No. 25 and it goes to explain why Nos. 23-27 look completely different to the rest of the street. Battenberg Road has since changed its name. In the First World War, when the Battenbergs diplomatically became the Mountbattens, the road went further. It changed its name to Windsor.

After you find this cache I'll change the cache name to yours! It will only stay that way until the next finder though! Be quick! Please be stealthy, the cache has been muggled once already!

Another quick FTF by rodz!
