Abercromby Street
April 14, 2005
Sometime between 1822 and today Abercrombie Street became Abercromby Street. Can anyone tell me why?
Located two streets west of Frederick Street, Abercromby Street runs from Independence Square to the south (where this photo was taken) to the Queen's Park Savannah in the north. The street was named after the British General (later Lieutenant-General) Sir Ralph Abercrombie, who captured Trinidad from the Spaniards and became the first British Governor of the island in 1797.

Either way, I still have problems spelling it. I remember learning bout these men in my history class.
Hi Diego, interesting observation. All the new street signs put up in the past couple years use a narrower sans-serif font so the evolution continues.
I'm taking a look at your blog now.
It's a very interesting catalog of font types through the times...
BTW, your blog has the same name in english that mine is in spanish :D
