I'll have to ask Ab Editor to move Chatterbank away from its place beside Crosswords.
Cannot find any definitive reasons for its name, but found this.
SHOOT-UP HILL/SHOOTER’S HILL
Shoot-up Hill is in Kilburn, north west London and Shooter’s Hill, south of the river in Greenwich. The latter reputedly gets its name from being a place of medieval archery practice. It’s likely therefore that the Kilburn street is the equivalent. Shoot-up Hill causes some jocularity with locals as it is an area where there are quite a large number of homeless hostels (associated with drug abuse).
