Waterford Places with colours in the name

    I was in the pub yesterday watching the rugby, and was informed by another regular that there are 7 streets in Waterford which have colours in their name. We got 5 of them, but then the guy had left so couldn't find out the other 2.
    Can anyone help?

    Red square doesn't count, as it's not it's real name.

    I won't say the 5 we got, so people can play themselves.

    Well, the 5 we got have all been said.
    Blackfriars
    Greyfriars
    Yellow Road (Upper and Lower don't count as separate, so I was told)
    Green Street
    Paddy Browne's Road

    Jury is out on Penrose at the moment. :p

    If you include housing estates theres magenta drive, magenta mews & magenta grove, all in Grange Manor.

    The Red Road.
    Upper yellow Road and Lower Yellow Road. They should count as they are seperate roads.

    Housing estates don't count I'm afraid. I had suggested Hazelbrook, but it didn't count.

    You'd have Ballybricken Green as well.
    I think it's just roads and streets though.

    Whereabouts is that? Had a quick look on google maps, and couldn't find it. I did notice that WIT is still called RTC on it though!

    Out by Coady's Pond.

    Would that still be classed as being in the city?

    What about Greenfields? although thats a housing estate, maybe they got the name from somewhere nearby?

    Finally met the guy again last night, and asked him what were the seven places. His response:
    'Oh eh....I think there's actually only 5. My bad'


    Bastard! :mad:
