Had to share this: Strange Place Names 🇬🇧

I will just put this here 🤣
Cheese Bottom never fails to make me smile especially when said in the voice of Kevin the Minion

Peggy’s Wicket in Durham
Windy Nook in South Tyneside.
Clog Sole Lane in Brighouse - very pragmatic in West Yorkshire, ditto Industrial Street and Cement Street.

Just been to Giggleswick, delightful. Used to live near
Besses O’th Barn.

Easily pleased DH and I laughed every time we drove through Sarnie on our way to see our daughter in Wales; "I'll have cheese and tomato please." "Make mine a ham and pickle." "A bag of crisps to go with it?" etc etc etc.

Fresh Hovel Lane, Quorn.

How about Butt Hole Lane in Leicestershire.

I didn’t think Besses O’ Th’ Barn was a funny name, probably because i am so used to it. I live in the village next to it.
People always say it’s named after Dick Turpins’ horse that was stabled there on his way between London and York but it’s not true. The real story is that there was a barn owned by a lady called Bess and it sold ale (it was supposed to be very rough). Travellers were told to get food drink and a bed at Bess’s Barn.

It's not just here as anyone who has encountered a village in France named Condom will tell you

I used to live near Land Of Nod in East Yorkshire

My friend and her husband live at Loggerheads , another friend lives at Swineshead

There’s a hamlet in West Devon called Chipshop! Now that’s a ‘plaice’ I’d like to visit!

The village of Ugley is not far from Stansted Airport

Nempnett Thrubwell in Somerset - imagine having to write that every time you wrote your address.

I went to view a property in ‘Rough Road’ I was put off before I had even seen it.

We had swing-swing lane near us in Basingstoke. Round here in Kent there is Paramour Street and Hearts Delight!

Place in Kent called Twydall ( pronounced locally as Twidall )

I went to school in a town that is on the rude names list not saying which. I've also been to a town with Teapot Lane.
Many of the villages where I come from are pronounced completely differently by the locals ,as we had to study it at college the locals were always asked for the pronunciation for a laugh. i.e. is it Pica with a lowercase sounding i or Pica with an uppercase sounding I. We got lost and asked for Raughton Head no one had a clue until they realised it was their [Ruffton] Head

There's a village outside Maidstone in Kent called Loose. A friend of mine took pride in being a Loose woman.

My mum lived near Loose, and told us there used to be a chimney sweep there called Arthur Savage.
He put his name & location on his van without any punctuation:

A Savage
Chimney Sweep
Loose

That's lovely!
Can imagine everyone Haha and hoho ing their way through the alley.

I loved the name of a village in North Yorkshire (I think) called "Bashalleves".

Ticklebelly Alley here, also Kent

I’ve always liked Wetwang in East Yorkshire. A lot of the odd names around there are derived from Old Norse.

Sparlefuzz, I grew up very near to where you described!
Bristol has a variety of rude road names: near me is Bellend Drive, and I used to walk along Cock Road from school.
There is actually a very detailed map of Britain with all the unusual or amusing place names in the country - I gave my husband a copy for Xmas a few years back.

We have the Idle working men’ s club near me! Noel Edmonds loved it!

I see Great Snoring is on there. Little Snoring is nearby to it...
