The main comms centre for Sheffield (maybe South Yorkshire) police is on Letsby Avenue. 😆

do hope its true
<edit> [url= https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wan_King_Path ]Ha it appears so[/url]
I think Grope**** Lane in Glastonbury has now been renamed, but I remember seeing the sign a few years ago (well, quite a few - around 2002, I think).
Research suggested that there used to be a few paths around the country so named but that they were being renamed - I'm not really surprised.

If they are trying to do a direct translation the name should sound something like this "Want Chinng Chea" Or simply "Quay path/street".
😆
I've had a ban for posting a 'dodgy name' street sign before so be careful people...

Titter.
On an audax a few weeks ago we went past the end of a lane called "Benny Hill". We decided we were too knackered to stop and take a photo though.
:twisted:Say that again JulianA I didn't quite catch that. 😈

It's not even a real passage, ffs.
After taking the original pic when wondering around a French city, I found this bubblegum for sale in one of the shops:

There's a slag lane near here
Extra points if you take a pic of your mrs bent over the sign. 😯 😛
Edit
Well, if we're doing product names as well, few things come close to these. Saw them with my own eyes in Turkey once. I guess some things don't translate exactly.....

There's a 'No Name Lane' near me.
Research suggested that there used to be a few paths around the country .
Threadneedle Street, home of the Bank of England being one of them.

World's End road isn't far away nor is Dirty Lane
Parsons Lane in Banbury being another. As told to me by my father when I was 14.
There's a St. Peter's Crescent near me. Named after St. Peter's church, a few yards away. It's full of flats populated by old people.
Except it's not a Crescent. Never has been. It's a short cul de sac. The sort of road you'd normally expect to be named a Close.

The finest street in Dunblane.

That's not a real one, is it?
I used to live on Fanny Street

Ram Passage in Kingston

And if you're interested, look up why 'Grape Lane' is fairly common (NSFW)
I always liked Thrasher Close in Hackney
Nork Park, Nork Way and Nork Rise near Banstead.
We have a Cul de Sac at the end of our road called 'Helens Close'.
Now, I don't know who Helen is or how bad ass her reputation is but I do find myself checking over my shoulder when I walk past the sign.
Oh and my 'Street name' is J-Dogg obviously.
As I said, not a real one.
No, but I now cannot pronounce it the way the planners intended. 😆
Not a street name but I found these tissues in my hotel room in Jo'burg:

There's a 'Melancholy Walk' in Stamford, cheered me up!
In Wigan there is an Ince St. Mary School. Incest? - Holy Family, Batman!
And we always stop and laugh at Breasty Haw near Grizedale.
Only in Scotland would you get a hill named [url= http://www.streetmap.co.uk/map.srf?x=175985&y=612485&z=120&sv=175985,612485&st=4&ar=y&mapp=map.srf&searchp=ids.srf&dn=663&ax=175985&ay=612485&lm=0 ]this[/url]
