===Real-world allusions=== On his website Fforde reports that the Swindon Town Planning office, due to expansion and the need to name new streets, asked him if he would mind them using names of characters from his books.<ref name="The Nextian Neighbourhood">{{cite web|title=The Nextian Neighbourhood|url=http://jasperfforde.com/streets/thames_reach.html}}</ref> While Fforde seems to have written the page with his tongue in his cheek several new streets in the Orchid Vale area of [[Swindon]] have the names of literary characters that appear in the Thursday Next series. These include Thursday Street, Friday Street, Mycroft Road, Havisham Drive, Estella Close, Eyre Close, Braxton Road and Bradshaw Court.<ref name="Swindon Map">{{cite web|title=Google map of "the Nextian Neighbourhood"|url=https://www.google.co.nz/maps/place/Swindon,+UK/@51.5983177,-1.8212847,18.11z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x4871444f3ddbe4e5:0xa556bf37e9c5949a!8m2!3d51.5557739!4d-1.7797176}}</ref>{{better source needed|date=October 2019}}
