What’s in a name: The Mall re-named St Georges

Will confess that it isn’t too long ago that I realised that the name of St Georges Shopping Centre had been changed to The Mall mall and now it’s reverted to St Georges.  Seems a mistake to call a mall The Mall. Like calling your house House, perhaps in Street Street.  St Georges is the long term name of the area of Preston it is in and is England’s patron saint so there are two good reasons for it to be known as St Georges. It was always St Georges Shopping Centre, not mall, but no worries.  Good to move forward without breaking all links with the past.
