Vabaduse puiestee (Vabadus)

Avenue in Nõmme renamed only once, briefly, to 21. Juuni from 1940-1941. Before being a road, however, records* (1926) list it as Vana kindluse raudtee, old defensive railway, after the remains of the confusingly-named Peter the Great’s Naval Fortress, aka Tallinn-Porkkala defense station, a line of fortification scheduled to include (on the Estonian side) hundreds of kilometers of railway with – in addition to the cannon mounted on flatbed wagons – guns on Naissaar, Aegna, Viimsi, Suurupi and Kakumäe designed to protect Saint Petersburg from attack by sea. See Peetri and Noblessneri. Part of the E67 from Helsinki to Prague.

* Possibly erroneous, the railway may have been 100 m or so further south...
