1. Tehase (1. Tehas)

Tehas is a works or factory, and Tallinn had a number of streets called this, five of them – 1. Tehase ... 5. Tehase – in Pae and eliminated in 1984 (and not, as mistakenly stated in the first edition “scuppered by the building of Admiraliteedi bassein”, which is almost 5 km away). KNAB does not record a 6. Tehase but does list 7. Tehase sadam, this renamed as Noblessneri sadam. Likewise, the one-time Tehase tänav is now called Naaritsa. The present entry also presages the protean orthography of Tallinn toponymy: whereas the previous entry, 1. liin, must be writ in lower-case, this one was capitalized. It gets worse, see Patriarh Aleksius II.

NB: for those who don’t read introductions, forget fast or need constant reminders: headwords of street names no longer in existence, mainly former Soviet namings, are struck through.
