Dear Justin,I don't know about the 2nd street but on this 3rd one, it literally translates to 'iron-mongers street'.P'ah = beatT'i - iron or steelTin is something else but I can't think of it at the moment. (my Hokkien also rusty). Let me check with my parents if they know.
Romerz,T'i as you translate is correct. We also use the term T'i as metal when we ask what type of metal is it. Since the trade there was actually tin-smith, I translate it as tin-smith.Thanks for the info.
