What’s the oddest street name you know?

I passed one in Edinburgh today, called Fair-A-Far Shot, which is quite unusual.

I also know of a small hamlet, not street, called Willie Stack’s Clump, which just makes me smile.

There's somewhere (is it York?) with a street or alley called Whip-ma-whop-ma-gate or similar, which I love.

There's a tiny hamlet in Monmouthshire called Bully Hole Bottom which brings me great joy also.

I came here to say Whip ma Whop ma Gate! It is a tiny street in York and I always like seeing the sign for it.

We’ve got an ‘Eagles’ in the local town. Not Eagles Close or Eagles Street. Just ‘Eagles’.
