Quote: There is a statue commemorating the life of Nurse Edith Cavell in St Martin's Place, near Trafalgar Square, London. There is an Edith Cavell Bridge in New Zealand and Mt Edith Cavell in the Canadian Rockies was named in her honour. Unquote

The nurses training college in Johannesburg was (is) in Edith Cavell Street. Is still called this and is the college still there?

Interesting pub in Norwich, or used to be, on Magdelen Street, called the Edith Cavell: when I lived there it was developing a rep for being gay-tolerant, sort of a mini-Canal Street. Haven't been to Norwich since 2003, so it might have changed.
