  • Writing about the street that one lives on is indeed on the Wikipedia:List of bad article ideas, and that is apparently what the article creator is doing here. I did not believe the thing about cobbled streets, which seemed carefully vague and is not supported by the source, and a quick check of some guides to this city indicated that there is possibly something to say about the city and cobbling in general. But that won't be in this article. Perusing some histories, just in case this was a really bad stub for an actual historic place, it seems that there are some well-documented routes there, New Walk, Leicester being one that caught my eye in a history of the city during the 18th century ( A History of Leicester in the Eighteenth Century at the Internet Archive) , but this is not one of them.
