I've always smiled as I go past Prune Park Lane near Bradford. In our village is Cat 'Ol where the villagers could gain access to the brook. I read somewhere the Cat part started as Norse Garta (road), same as the York Gates. |

In Sussex a small narrow lane is sometimes called a twitten. I loved writing that on the address label, when our son lived in Lewes. |

There's a road near me so dull they named it twice to make it seem interesting. It is called Green Street Green Road. (Actually I think it leads to a village called Green Street Green, which is a pretty stupid name for a village!) Carole |

I know it's childish of me but I always titter when we go past Balls Lane on the way to Mansfield. I did envy a friend though who used to live at 'The Tryst', Lover Lane. I thought it was a great address but she hated it. Obviously not a romantic:)) Chrissie x |
