Salacious Place Names and Streets

[jazzy_dave]

In Britain we do have some unusual and sometimes embarrassing place names and streets. Here is such a collection.



Twatt is a settlement in the Shetland Islands of Scotland. Bitchfiled is in Lincolnshire.

Here are some others -



Wetwang is in the Yorkshire Wolds, part of the East Riding area.





I cannot vouch for the others here as some of these may have been photoshopped.

In Scotland there is a place called Joppa, also very funny.

now that you've got the way entirely mapped out, do you think you will get somewhere?

I've been to Twatt. It's also a local surname in Orkney.

Kent also has Pratt's Bottom as you're probably aware!

There is a Grope Lane in Shrewsbury too.

[davesmusictank.livejournal.com]

Well aware of Pratt's Bottom, lol, as well as Upper and Lower Dicker in Sussex. Unfortunate surname in some circles, and ifi had it i would change my name.

[cmcmck.livejournal.com]

It's common there though and no one thinks twice about it.

And the Top Gear boys had the gall to be surprised when they drove to Intercourse, PA. ;p

[davesmusictank.livejournal.com]

P Lease do not mention Top Gear again!

Lets not forget the fine town of Penistone in South Yorkshire.

And the Sussex village of Cocking!

I live in a village delighting in the name of Cockfield... chickens, my dear, chickens! The same is true of a pub in the next village called The Cock Inn

I assume you've heard of Fücking in Austria, who had to carve their town boundary road signs into huge boulders because they kept getting stolen by juvenile English-speakers.

[beer-good-foamy.livejournal.com]

They make a beer now too. Since it's a pale lager, they've named it Fucking Hell.

[davesmusictank.livejournal.com]

Yes i have heard of it and have seen pics of it.

Did you see Ginger along that last lane? :p
Hugs, Jon

I don't get some of the terms(American English is my second language, I have enough trouble with that!), but I am afraid to ask.XD

[cmcmck.livejournal.com]

I suspect that in some cases, you really wouldn't want to know! :o)

[kabuldur.livejournal.com]

Very funny :)

Love these names! It makes our names for things so boring ... I currently live in Minnetonka, Minnesota and will be moving full time to Pflugerville, Texas in October. (The P is silent in Pflugerville:)

Titty Ho is not photoshopped. We took a photo of one such Titty Ho street sign in rural Northamptonshire last month.

[davesmusictank.livejournal.com]

Oh brill. It was too funny not to be real!

[coming42.livejournal.com]

There is a pub in Kingston village called The Juggs....

[davesmusictank.livejournal.com]

Strangely, i have had a beer there many moons ago.

[a-phoenixdragon.livejournal.com]
