We recently stayed in Prague in a hotel on Miladý Horákové. It was only when I got back that I found out who Milada Horákova was. So I have a couple of questions. Did she live on the street that was named after her and what was the street called before, and, if that was a change from a previous name, what was it called before?
1) I don't know. 2) before 1946: Belcrediho - Richard Belcredi - an Austrian politician 1946 - 1951: krále Jiřího VI. - king George the VI. 1951 - 1990: Obránců míru - of peace defenders 1990 - ?: Milady Horákové
To Szarkafarka and Metric Many thanks for your help. I am an amateur writer and read a piece that included some of the stuff that you sent me, on monday at Dunbar writer's group (Scotland). It went down well. Another thing; I'm coming to Brno in July to do a Czech language course. If either of you are in that area then we could meet up Thanks again Steve PS Sorry about the long reply but I'm not on the net at home, so I go to the library once a week.
