While in London, just around the corner from my new job we found this -

I think that we need a campaign to bring back this popular mediaeval street name (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grope****_Lane), which was subject to prudish Victorian censorship.

I have a friend who lives on Drury Lane (Buckley, NW) ... and no, he doesn't know the muffin man!

Most of these are street names. In fact I went past Fanny Hands Lane once but didn't have a camera with me at the time.

The west side of South Woodham Ferrers, Essex (where I used to live) is based on Lord of the Rings... :lol: I REALLY wanted to live in one of those roads but they were all really expensive houses...

Don't be daft it's Phil Collins.

There as a website that searched for funny place names I remember seeing on here once.
I go past Bully Hole Lane sometimes and it makes me grimace.

Oi! I think I need to slap someone.

Don't be daft it's Phil Collins.

Ok now I need to slap 2 people, but you harder.

And signposted too.

If you go up Gay Street (or is that down?), the Rising Sun in Nutbourne is a cracker.

Got an area/hill near me called Knob Hill and another called Knob End

I know this isn't a street name but it's quite funny:

Manhood Peninsula (http://www.manhoodfoe.org.uk/)

My all time favourite is Slag Lane,Haydock,St.Helens.

Just off the A580 East Lancashire road if anyone is interested.:rolleyes:

However it's not relating to what the mucky minded peeps might be thinking, it is a former coal mining area.:p

I will apologise now for the "off topic" nature of my post, but this reminds me of the a time in days gone by when I was invited to go and "play on a slag heap" ... imagine my disappointment when I found out it was full of slate :(

Well, it was back in the day when a new craft shop opened locally but I couldn't understand why they'd blacked out the windows ... don't think my mum had the heart to tell me exactly what "Martial Arts" were back then :rolleyes:

Both true stories :oops:
