Odd place names.

Leicester is an odd place

We've done Fartown in Huddersfield, and Slack Bottom, there's a place in Huddersfield called Solid. Laundry fanatics will get In a pickle about Stainland, near Barkisland. Nearer to @ColinJ there are two landmarks on the OS map, called Pissen Clough, and Shitten Clough. There's a Bolton Percy near York, which isn't as famous for gender reassignment as the name might suggest...

I once spent an hour waiting for a train, and staring at the station sign 'Penistone'. I can't see the name without wondering what tone they mean.

When I see signs for Clitheroe, I get that song by Bonnie Tyler going round in my head.

My bad, yes Northumberland.

Pert Bottom in Kent

It is however a fix... it should read Pett Bottom, but the sign is continually being doctored

Passed this sign on my wee tour earlier in the year, thought 'What?!'...and tuned back to take a photo.

Near Bere Regis in Dorset, Shitterton. Locals pronoumce it "shy - terton". It's quite posh, apparently. Same area has Piddlehinton, Piddletrenthide, and they are in the Piddle Valley, along which flows the said River Piddle. Further west, Gurney Slade, and the wonderfully named Temple Cloud. Lots of others - go west. Plus the old chestnut, the only place name with an exclamation mark, Westward Ho!, in Devon.
