WHERE? Which town?
Pelham Street WHERE? How can people avoid the area when the most important detail is missing?
It’s like the BBC traffic reports saying something like “the junction of High Street and Manor Road” without ever mentioning the town or village.
Lewes has a Pelham Street. Seaford has a Pelham Street. Does Brighton have a Pelham Street?
