It always surprises me that the town of Wednesbury managed to retain the name of a Norse god throughout the Christian era. The various places named after victories over the French - Blenheim Palace, Trafalgar Square, Waterloo Station - happily survived our EU membership (along with Gare d'Austerlitz in Paris, of course).

Whereas St Petersburg became first Petrograd, then Leningrad, before reverting to St Petersburg again.

Keep the names, keep the statues (if necessary in an appropriate museum) and use them as part of the teaching process.

Not that changing road names is a 21st Century fad. Selous Street (named after the artist Henry Courtney Selous) in Camden was renamed Mandela Street by some zealous anti-apartheid activists a few years ago (presumably because of its name being shared with a unit of the Rhodesian army), although I doubt if Nelson Mandela ever visited it, and given that it is basically a back-alley, would probably not have been very impressed if he had done. If Mandela deserved the honour of a London street being named after him, some fine new road in, say, the Docklands development, would have been more appropriate.
