Silly place names


The HERB5

Recommended Posts

I think it just uses a static list for the lookup, but anyway

 

Near me is Cock Pond

 

I see that Cock pond is close to the "CLAP"ham common.

It stated that Mincing Lane was 7.2 miles from me..But I know of a lot closer lanes where mincing occurs. :wub:

Edited to state that at no time were the police involved. :blink:...or maybe they were out of uniform. ;)

Fantastic site! I have a whole series of caches dedicated to unfortunate street names and will be including this link on the listing pages sometime soon. As a couple of the names picked up from the site from my postcode are street names (notably Butthole Lane!), I'm surprised some of the ones in my set aren't on there too viz -

 

Pestilence

Dogpool

Poverty

Coldbath

Grimpits

World's End

and ... the mystery bonus [no can tell]

When we lived in Northamptonshire I wanted to live in the village of Roade, in Northampton Road to be precise so our address would have been:

Northampton Road

Roade

Northhampton

 

But we lived somewhere else........

 

But where we are now we do have a Bica Common if you need somewhere to go for an argument (work it out folks).
