A road on a new housing estate in Glasgow has been named Radiography Road in honour of a hospital that was formerly located there.
The Ashlar Village development is located on the site of the former Ruchill Hospital, which closed in 1998, in the Ruchill area of Glasgow.
Radiography Road is just one street on the 400-home development, which will also feature other healthcare-themed streets like Vaccine Drive, Virology Grove and Laboratory Place, the BBC reports.
Some of the unique names were thought up by Glasgow member of Scottish Parliament Paul Sweeney. Mr Sweeney originally wanted to name the streets after key figures at the Ruchill Hospital, but was advised to avoid choosing names of people and landed on acknowledging work that took place at the hospital.
Speaking on BBC Radio 2's The Jeremy Vine Show, Mr Sweeney said: "The council said that since Black Lives Matter and controversies over naming streets after people, we have decided no longer to name streets after persons alive or dead - so it would need to be something more abstract.
"I head-scratched and thought 'let's make it more particular to the function of the hospital' - obviously it's tricky to name something Tuberculosis Terrace so I tried to keep them appropriately named."
Naming convention in keeping with work at hospital
Originally, Radiography Road was set to be X-Ray Drive, but this was rejected by the council due to the hyphen.
A spokesperson for Glasgow City Council said the street names were in keeping with the work in infectious diseases that took place at Ruchill Hospital.
"After a series of discussions on an initial list of proposed names, and in keeping with the street naming convention - whereby street names are given using the history of the site in question - the local elected members felt that these names fitted given the former hospital on site was famous for its remarkable work with infectious diseases," the spokesperson said.
