Probably, because Union Road does have many twists and turns, because the lamps near where the library is now, are on a relatively straight stretch, visible from the bottom of Tinker Brew, they would be a major focal point, and an easy place for locals to place a mythical boundary.

Some great photographs of the gas lamps, sited where the library garden now ends.
