I can't help but think this changeset is misguided for a number of

To wit: https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/59687846
So, two ways: "Bartholomews" and "Avenue" or just one: "Bartholomews
Avenue"?
FWIW, they are separate streets, "Bartholomews" and "Avenue", on the
NSG, with different USRNs. "Bartholomews" also appears on OS Open Names,
although "Avenue" doesn't (probably because it's solely a pedestrianised
route now and not a vehicle route, so it isn't categorised as a road).
I know we can't use NSG data directly as it isn't (yet!) open, but Open
Names is.
FWIW, I think it's likely that the changeset author's comments are
right, and it is originally from an error by the highway authority. But,
if so, it was an error made long enough ago to have become the current,
canonical name. And, since that also matches what's on the ground, I see
no reason to try to "correct" it on OSM. I'd revert the change.
