Any housing development
with the word 'Carr' in it is asking for trouble. They are always new builds and nobody seems to stop to think "why has nobody ever built on here before?". For example, in June 2007 the newly built area in Hull called Kingswood was knacker-deep after all the rain.
Seeing that the word Carr is the old Norse worse for swampy fenland. The same goes for anything with "Holme" in it.
