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.

I have a customer who lives in a street called 'Verginas'. Not pronounced Vaginas where I live but I always get the giggles when I have to send a colleague there Blush

After reading this thread, I drove through Staple Flat.

Sounds like an instruction in a reprographics department.

Temperance Road. It has a pub on it!

Not as entertaining as some of the names on this thread, but in the town where I grew up, there was an Innovation Way. Not sure what was innovative about it.

There was also a Long Causeway in my town. Nothing against it, it's a perfectly pleasant, residential street. Nowhere near to the coast, though. It is a long street, I'll give them that.

There is a small courtyard in Wakefield known as Talbot and Falcon Yard, which I always found interesting - both are heraldic beasts.

I know of a few highly entertaining street names in the capital too: French Ordinary Court and Bleeding Hearts Yard both spring to mind.
