Re: Street name game:

Teejay - I was expecting that. Just surprised it took a little while to crop up!

I also claim 63. This is the oddest road sign I have come across though. Checking the location on Street View it is a normal sign but when I got down the gravel-strewn track leading to this place it was an odd stick... Oh well.

Re: Street name game:

Its a theft deterrent, concreted bollard with the road name as opposed to a demount able sign lol. I suppose the road signs is appealing to little toe rags with spanners.

Sorry for the crossed identity Trev, all sorted now :)

So a combination of the locals and not wanting to be seen taking a photo of someone's house (right next to a bedroom window) at 9:30 on a Sunday morning meant I simply rode on...

Will hopefully find another one on the way home tomorrow.

Is nobody else playing this game??

i am sposed to be, i just havn't had a chance yet/have forgotten to go and get the ones that are local to me.

Re: Street name game:

Here we go again...

I hereby claim, in the name of Sir Trev...

41 - The Bush. As this is only a roadlet, a demi-road if you like, with about three houses on it there is no road sign... Very odd.

79 - Tinkerbush Lane.

11. Hole of Horcum, North Yorkshire
http://i582.photobucket.com/albums/s...s/P1020497.jpg
The signs for Hole of Horcum have disappeared, but Horcum Dyke sounds right to me!

As Beef Lane was in central Oxford I did not even consider looking for it, considering the town is the most vehicle-hating place I've come across.

Ok its not on the list but I couldn't resist it. Noticed it by chance a couple of months ago, but only just had a chance to go back and snap it. Its in the village of Lydiard Millicent just out side of Swindon if you're interested. The entrance is a little tight, but once you've made it in there's plenty of room to swing round, I didn't even touch the curbs...
