• Delete. Indiscriminate trivia. The whole concept of a Fore Street itself isn't even notable. Ajf773 (talk) 09:26, 15 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. As noted at High Street#Incidence (and Fore Street should be retargetted to that section) the most common name for the principal shopping street in towns and villages in Great Britain varies regionally, and knowing this context I understand the intent behind this list is not indiscriminate but rather illustrating this regional trend. I would not be at all surprised if there was an encyclopaedic list to be found related to this (documenting and/or illustrating the distribution of settlements where the main shopping street is High Street, High Road, Fore Street, Main Street, Front Street, etc. but this list is not it. The list as it currently exists does appear to be indiscriminate though, for example Fore Street, Eastcote is a residential road not a shopping street (the nearby High Road has a few shops, but the main shopping street is now(?) elsewhere in the settlement) and the City of London road is presently a very minor street on the edge of the Barbican estate (it's not impossible it was a shopping street before WWII but I've not looked). This latter point is tips me into delete as it means it would be of limited use as a starting point for an encyclopaedic list (especially as I'm not sure what form such a list would take).
