There is a village, where I live in Kent called Acol. Pronounced like Acorn, since the origin is the same. Acol means oak wood.

The Powell Cottons developed an area of London, called the Quex Estate, giving street names all from this part of Kent - Birchington, Shottendane, Acol etc. I believe the answer is that In Acol Road was someone high up in bridge in a bridge club in Acol Road.

And remember it is really ACOL like ACORN, not AKKOL as mispronounced by most bridge players.
