[Travel] Oddest Street Name Near You

[Motogull]

Pleasure House Lane. Ooh err.

 

[RexCathedra]

Not odd as such, so much as odd in context -- Seagull Road.
We're 20 miles from the ocean.

In fairness it does lead to the municipal recycling facility [i.e. town tip]

 

[AmexRuislip]

For you pervey pedants on here.......
Fine Bush Lane, Ruislip.
It has a very well trimmed privet hedgerow.

 

[Yes Chef]

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



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

Yes, I'd heard of areas called 'Little London' or 'Little Chelsea' or even 'Little Venice' but not the actual street name. I'm secretly proud when someone asks my address.

Anyway, there is a Hoe Close in Bosham, and a Beaver Close in Fishbourne WAHEY

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

I live parallel to Invalidenstrasse, which literally translates as Invalids Street.

 

[Mr Bridger]

Another one in a nearby village. Raunds

 

[spongy]

Used to work up in Surrey years ago and there's a road in Cobham I think called "Between Streets"

 

[Gwylan]

There's a Cockshut Rd in Lewes

 

[happypig]

Ecmod Road. Was where Eastbourne Corporation Motor Omnibus Division was based.

 

[GREASED WEASEL]

There's a town about half an hour from me called

Condom

Apparently Siouxie Sioux has lived there for quite a few years

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Street sign near where my daughter works in Chichester

 

[Music City Gull]

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?

This isn’t really your question, but I was born and raised in Atlanta. In city proper there are 71 street names with “peachtree” in the name and something like 140 streets in metro-Atlanta.

 

[Whoislloydy]

Not near me, but in Nova Scotia there's 3 streets together called:

This Street
That Street
The Other Street

For you pervey pedants on here.......
Fine Bush Lane, Ruislip.
It has a very well trimmed privet hedgerow.

Are the residents who have completely block paved their frontage Brazilian by any chance?

 

[Weststander]

Not near me, but in Peacehaven there’s a street called The Bricky.

 

[Albion in the north]

Just up from Hebden Bridge.

This thread reminds me of when we were kids there used to be a little Alley Way which was un-light and on one side of it there was a large Cherry Tree from the garden next to it overhanging the Alley which made it very dark in the evenings.

It was famously known as '' The Cherry Pop '' for obvious reasons - When we were about 8 or 9 we used to sometimes hide in the trees and wait for the Older Boys bring their girlfriends along to the shadowed bit under the tree and and we would watch them well ''pop their cherry'' so to speak and while they were at it we would eat the cherries from the tree and throw the stones from the cherries at them whilst they were in action.

Still makes me laugh when I think of seeing Angela Mc Dowell getting her '' Cherry Popped '' on the Saturday night then next day I seen her going to Mass and taking Communion on the Sunday.
