This is the "Curved elbow alley" in Amsterdam. Can't find any explanation about the name, but I suppose it has to do with the curve of the alley. The streetnames in the centre are all very old and people in earlier times mostly indicated the streets with a clear simple name.
Linking to "signs, signs 2"
In Coevorden (waar ik ooit woonde) is er ook één maar dat was de 'Kromme Elleboogsteeg', dus net iets anders. Leuk die oude namen.

BeantwoordenVerwijderenHmm, makes me wonder what name I could give my street.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI also think we should honor the old names and use them.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenClear, simple names make more sense than some of our naming practices for streets nowadays - some are haphazard at best!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenAn interesting name indeed.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenOh that is so cool as I used live next to a cafe called "de kromme elleboog"
