OOOH EER!

Wow. A blast from (way back in) the past.
I lived at No 67 - at the time there was a Dutch couple next door at No 69.
I used to cycle to school from there

Only if it was in Twatt

Damn, I was trying to keep my address a secret on the forum!

The C-word is still to be found, under disguise, in a number of street names.......so no, that's not Britain's rudest name. This from someone who lived in Cock Rd for a number of years.

There's a Tickle Cock Bridge in Yorkshire, BTW.

I think Shrewsbury has some interesting street names IIRC, @Rickshaw Phil ?

Already a thread for this

It got lost in the post.

 

[Rickshaw Phil]

The two threads have been merged. Apologies if this causes any confusion.

In response to @rich p, yes Shrewsbury does have a few interesting names but doesn't compete in terms of rudeness.

A few examples: Dogpole, Wyle Cop, Murivance, Shoplatch, Grope Lane, Pig Trough, The Flash.

No - it's only a semi.

In St Ives Cambridgeshire there was a road called "Pig Lane", due to the pig farm at the end

Then they build houses and a youth centre

Finally they built a Police Station.....

So the road now remains "Pig Lane" except for the small portion by the Police station which was renamed "Broad Leas"

They could have called it Letsby Avenue http://www.theguardian.com/uk/2000/feb/12/martinwainwright

Should have been Letsby Avenue
