I'm sure this has been done before for Brighton and Hove, and it's hard to beat Crocodile Walk 2000, but do you have any odd street names near you?

Just been for my lunchtime stroll and walked past Football. There's a picture of a football on the house at the end and I'd always assumed it was called Football Road, but no, it's just football. Found a couple of articles on it too. Can you do any better?

When I was living in Lund I lived close to a street called "Utsättaregränden", roughly translated "Abusers Alley".

Used to work with a guy in Coventry who lived in Ten Shilling Drive in Coventry.

Always moaning about the problems he had when he gave out his address. How stupid to put a number as part of a street name?

Up here in the BC we have the wonderfully named ‘Bell End’

I couldn't see what was wrong with that until you said! Number 10 must get all the post, with everyone else getting nothing :lol:

The name of my street is Little London, which has caused confusion

There is an area/village called Little London just up the road from me, which has a London Lane and a London Street.
