Old time police fiction joke. "Lets be having you then" supposedly said by every copper, making an arrest.
Address in question used to be 999 Letsby avenue. Home of the ariel support unit South Yorkshire police.

In St Ives Cambridgeshire there was "Pig Lane" called that for many years because of an old pig farm

It became built up and one of the facilities was a Police Station

The road name was then changed to Broad Leas for the lower section
