The street name one from @Connoisseur great QI posts is easily explained. First Street is much more likely to be renamed after a town hero/politician than Second Street. Therefore more Second Streets survive than First Steets. Also, in growing towns First Street is more likely to be renamed something mundane like Main Street, than any of the other streets.

Loving these posts, Connoisseur!
