Do you also have a street in your village/town/city with a name that tickles you?

Successful-Ad-367@reddit

Always makes me chuckle driving through.

Belle_TainSummer@reddit

You ever been to Kilmarnock?

They have institutional problems.

[-]

northyj0e@reddit

I'm Yeadon, between Leeds and Bradford, there's a street called "Football". Not Football Street, Football Place, or Football Avenue, just "Football".

[-]

danger0usd1sc0@reddit

Very happy to see the people at number 10 have ONE NIL as their house number :)

[-]

weierstrab2pi@reddit

Manchester has a street just called 'Scotland'

[-]

danger0usd1sc0@reddit

Just looked this up on Google maps and was interested to see that there is a road called "Pavement" there, too.

[-]

rosywillow@reddit

There’s a road near me called Bents Lane. The council are fighting a running battle with local teenagers who paint out the bottom loop of the B and the crossbar of the t.

[-]

BarryIslandIdiot@reddit

I grew up in a small village with 'Cock' at the beginning of the name. In my 40 plus years of life i have only ever seen 'Suck my' written on it once. I'm both surprised and a little disappointed.

[-]

Andrew_Culture@reddit

My goodness. This took me far too long to figure out. It took me less time to figure out why someone keeps painting white paint over the bottom loop of the B on the sign for Bucks Close near me.

[-]

louiselovatic@reddit

No I can’t figure out Andrew_Culture’s one

[-]

rosywillow@reddit

Paint out the bottom loop of the B and also the outer edge of the top loop.

[-]

Andrew_Culture@reddit

oh yeah, I kinda forgot that crucial part, sorry

[-]

Dry_Database2198@reddit

This is Boaty McBoatface level good. Reminds me that the Liverpool Uni telephone extension for the Anglican Chaplaincy was 6666.

[-]

drunken-acolyte@reddit

That is entirely a new estate. They knew what they were doing when they called it that.

[-]

EldritchSanta@reddit

Oh totally, but someone boring and officious could have shut it down. But they didn't, and the world is a tiny bit better for it.

[-]

South Yorkshire town planners can be quite cool. There's a council estate in Doncaster where, rather than all the streets being named after some stuffy worthies from local politics as they usually are, the streets were all named after football stadia.

[-]

rocketscientology@reddit

And when they put the police station there!

[-]

northyj0e@reddit

Absolutely gutting that that street isn't in Norwich:

Where are you?

Letsby Avenue.

[-]

JerronVrayl@reddit

In Shepshed, Leicestershire

SUMMATMAN@reddit

Wow Google really want to ram it in

MissingLink101@reddit

I like this road near QPR's ground that seems like a warning to criminals

In Norwich we have St Gregory's Back Alley

The council really needs to put up a NO BALL GAMES ALLOWED sign right next to that.

Back Turner St near Shudehill in Manchester lingers with me.

Have no idea how the AskUK sub ended up on my home feed but here I am. As a comic book and specifically Deadpool fan this intersection a few blocks away from my house has always given me a kick.

[-]

dazzumz@reddit

There are quite a few roads in the UK named after (former) Prince Andrew to some now very disgruntled residents, but one sign was posted on Reddit not long ago with the caption "that's not a street name, that's a warning".

I used to play darts with/against a woman that lived up there whose maiden name was Seaman. I don't think she completed the trinity by living at number 69 though.

CarpeCyprinidae@reddit

Don't live there now and havent in over 20 years, but Hemel Hempstead has both Uranus Road and Alldicks Road. The sign for the latter sometimes gets a symbolic representation added....

[-]

islandhopper37@reddit

Gravesend in North Kent has a Thong Lane, which leads to the village of the same name.

Thong used to be signposted from the A2, but I think that exit was closed off when the A2 was realigned.

Well done and well worth the effort! Having lived under Concorde’s deafening departures for several years, this one really resonates with me.

[-]

Cariad_rae@reddit

We moved to Twickenham from North Wales and I took our Neopolitan Mastiff to the shop across the road, I tied him to a bin and when Concorde went off he got so scared he dragged the bin home!

Sheffield has a “Letsby Avenue” where there’s a police station.

Not so much a double entendre, but in Brum we have “Needless Alley”

[-]

migo_81@reddit

This used to be near where I grew up but the residents got it changed

[-]

TwistedSis27@reddit

There's Cumlodden Avenue in my city, not too far from Succoth Avenue 😂

This one is less funny but still good, there's Cuddy Lane too. "Cuddy" is Scots slang for a stupid person or a donkey so it's basically "Stupid Person Lane" 😭

Is that what they’re calling a Prince Albert these days?

neilm1000@reddit

I've been there! It's by Warke Flatt which always strikes me as the sort of name an American senator might have. Any idea why an industrial estate has such unusual names?

[-]

IpromithiusI@reddit

Small world 😂 no idea unfortunately, bloody stupid layout though, 1 road in and out, pain in the arse if you don't leave work a bit earlier than 5!

[-]

CalmdownpleaseII@reddit

St Mary’s Butts in Reading. I figure her butt must have been something to behold to have a street named after it.

[-]

DoctorOctagonapus@reddit

So I looked up where this name came from, apparently it comes from an archery butt that used to be near the church. The butt went, but the church and street name survive.

Broad Street Mall also used to be named the Butts Centre, and my dad still calls it that.

[-]

MiddleAgedFella@reddit

Not a street, but a railway underpass in Castleford, West Yorkshire.

During regeneration the original Tickle Cock bridge was filled in and a new larger one built around 10 foot away. The council renamed it, or attempted to rename it ‘Tittle Cott’

Local uproar saw them have it reverted back to Tickle Cock

[-]

MelodicAd2213@reddit

There’s a Ticklecock fair in Conisburgh and Denaby. NSFF

Not UK but there’s an airport in Columbus, Ohio on “Godown Lane”. For whatever reason I think I was the only one who got the irony.

Not British but Australian, and too good to not share: Titwobble Lane. It is a dirt road, named by its first residents and yes is it very bumpy. The street sign has been wrapped in barbed wire for years as it was getting stolen a lot.

[-]

beeurd@reddit

In Birmingham city centre

[-]

chemo92@reddit

Theres an alley near me that has a sign saying 'No. 2 passage '

I assume it's some sort of infrastructure thing but gives me a giggle every time I walk past it.
