OK, it’s in the steel works, but it’ll do for me.

Dead Man's Hole Lane now seems to qualify, it used to be Deadman's Hole Lane
Meanwhile in Bingley the throughpass has now been named Sir Fred Hoyle Way after the second most famous person born in Bingley.

Green Street Green Road causes confusion when giving directions.

If this hasn't been mentioned, contender is South Bristol Link Road or SBLR.

I'm lamenting the fact that Lloyd George Avenue in Cardiff wasn't called David Lloyd George Avenue.Big L wrote: ↑Tue Jun 21, 2022 20:02 I bring you news of "Little And Great Sir Hughes Lane" near Chelmsford.
Re: Roads with 4 (or more) words in their names
Seems ungrammatical, though. Presumably it's named after a Sir Hugh Something, in which case it should be Hugh's.Chris5156 wrote: ↑Tue Jun 21, 2022 20:47That's magnificent!Big L wrote: ↑Tue Jun 21, 2022 20:02 I bring you news of "Little And Great Sir Hughes Lane" near Chelmsford.
Re: Roads with 4 (or more) words in their names
It may seem odd but Googling does bring up a few references to Great Sir Hughes and Little Sir Hughes.wrinkly wrote: ↑Tue Jun 21, 2022 22:53Seems ungrammatical, though.

Re: Roads with 4 (or more) words in their names
This sign turns out to read Sir Douglas Bader Way, although it doesn't seem to match up to a navigable road. Unless it's part of the prom?

Re: Roads with 4 (or more) words in their names
Unfortunately this seems to be a mapping error. The sign at the junction clearly says "Great Sir Hughes Lane", and it appears one of the the other roads is "Little Sir Hughes Lane". The correct names appear on Open Street Map. Though both still qualify as they still have four words.Big L wrote: ↑Tue Jun 21, 2022 20:02 I bring you news of "Little And Great Sir Hughes Lane" near Chelmsford.

Reminds me that there is a Bader Walk (which seems a little distasteful given what happened to him) in Castle Vale in Birmingham.Kinitawowi wrote: ↑Wed Jun 22, 2022 08:56 This sign turns out to read Sir Douglas Bader Way, although it doesn't seem to match up to a navigable road.

I'm not sure if it's just where my brain goes, but particularly with the third word ending in 'K' I have to remind myself that the second word in this one is not milk
