Bizarre street names, challenge!

[ASC1951]

Hang on this is getting too easy, it's got to be where you live / close by/ pass on a bike ride/ commute.

Quite right.
Yesterday's outing saw me cut through Headingley up Back Albert Passage.

- and going back to Arch's observations about streets named after professions, until a couple of months ago I was in partnership with three gentlemen called Crutch, Cox and Legg. No-one ever came from the Council to ask us about naming the street.

Reading has a Zinzan Street....no idea of the origin.

Hang on this is getting too easy, it's got to be where you live / close by/ pass on a bike ride/ commute. The next step is photographic evidence with your bike. Who's first? [will try and get one tomorrow]

Challenge accepted, both in my fair citys 'old town'

Couldn't remember where the smallest window in England was though to photo that with the bike.

St. Agnes in Cornwall has Stippy Stappy. I know not why, but it's very pretty.

(just tried to add a pic - how do you do that, please?)

Not as odd as those two but Cyclemagic is on Friday Street. There are no other streets in Leicester named after days

And the nut streets - Brazil, Filbert Hazel, Walnut and Almond


oh there's a Buthole Lane somewhere nearshepshed. Never been there sure its very nice S

The local habit of naming streets after warships has led to Walney Island having such gems as "Melampus St." Powerful St." "Vengeance St." and "Doris St."

We've got Heinz Burt Close down the road from us, it's just off Benny Hill Close. Eastleigh council didn't give themselves a lot of choice when they decided on a famous people from the town theme for the roads on the new estate.

Comical Corner in South Shields down on the Banks of the Tyne

I used to live on Dice Pleck and I have family who live on Honey Pot View.

How about Cut Throat Lane near Wellingborough.
I used to be the official name but they changed it, I wonder why ????

A colleague told me about it, but I've only just got round to checking on googlemaps.

There is a Cavalier Approach, in Leeds...

There's a Trolling Down Hill near Darenth, Kent. It always makes me think of cycling forums...
