There's a Bogey Lane in Pontesbury near to me. My son would love to live there, it appeals to his sense of the absurd. And there's a load of Wallops near Chipping Norton.

Not sure how it is spelt but there is a village in Essex ( near Newport) that the locals call Ugley. And yes there is The Ugley Womans Institute.

I hardly dare put this one, as it contains a word I never use, but there used to be a 'grope ***t lane', in London somewhere I think.  It went a bit upmarket recently and the very proper ladies there got it renamed.  Although I hate the word, the street name always makes me laugh as it certainly says it how it is  :o
 
 
Other than that, I love Wyre Piddle, which sounds like a medical affliction  ;D


There used to be lots of similarly named streets - but the victorians changed a lot of them. If you know of a local 'love or lovers lane, street etc' thats usually what they changed it to.

Lloyd Else my pal lives in "  Folkham Hall " the local parish councillors tried to get it banned as registered address for it means  exactly how lloyd felt about the parish & town  councillors after a major planning battle that cost him a fortune to win  .

 Not many miles away in Lincolnshire is the village of Folkingham pronounced exactly as Lloyd says it .

Slag Lane, Merseyside, a residential street in Haydock, how appropriate  :roflanim:



Now you may not believe me, but I live less than 100yds from slag lane in Haydock and walk my dogs down slag lane every day, it's not residential it's got a farm off it and that's about it

There are no slags on slag lane

There are on the other hand plenty of slags living on station road which is about 200yds away

Near to Fotheringhay on the A605 is a road called " Bullocks road " .. The county & local councils gave up replacing or cleaning the sign of a few extra micro grams of paint or marker pen .
