Bizarre street names, challenge!

[Piemaster]

Cut Throat Lane (near Hockley Heath, West Mids) - a few grizzly murders, perhaps?

More likely a few barbers, I'd say

 

[661-Pete]

Regular L2Bers probably know Slugwash Lane (Wivelsfield) already.

Or the fine city of York, which gives us...

At work today I walked down Bartle Garth, Turks Head Court and Penny Lane Court - the latter not a very remarkable name, but someone has wedged a penny in the loop of the P.

Couldn't get it out then?

Not sure what my favourite York ones were - Bad Bargain Lane, Little Shambles. York had a lot of good street names and not just in the city centre.

not a street name but a village:

There's a lane that was called Tink-a-Tank in Banbury, renamed Church Passage since the early 19th C. Originally it was a narrow cobbled lane with tall buildings either side and the sound of shoes on the cobbles gave it it's name. Anyway I like the name Tink-a-Tank, it's cute!

Near Dalton in North Yorkshire there's a 'Paradise Lane'


I used to live there!!!

Sorry bout that. But the picture was nice, right?

Edit: Nope, the image was modded out as well due to excessive size. It's official, I suck.

Picture was lovely - don't worry about it, Auntie Helen's probably on dial-up!

Letsby Avenue, Sheffield.

That's the one with the police station in, right?

Nothing unusual about the name - it is the narrowest street in the world to have an official name and street sign.

Picture was indeed lovely but it did take a very long time to download - and I'm on Broadband (admittedly a slow connection as I live in the sticks).
