Raunds road included in list of UK's silliest street names

Titty Ho, linking London Road and the Wellington Road/Grove Street roundabout, is included in a list compiled by van firm leasevan.co.uk.

But another funny street name in our area - Bell End in Wollaston - has not made the cut. Last week a street sign there was stolen yet again.

Other streets to make the list include Crutched Friars, French Ordinary Court and Frying Pan Alley in central London.

Ghost House Lane in Nottingham, There And Back Again Lane in Bristol and Christmas Pie Avenue in Surrey also made the cut.

Even families fortunate enough to live on one of Scotland’s priciest residential roads – in the Grange area of Edinburgh – still have to put up with its silly name: Dick Place.

Tim Alcock from firm said: “Some homeowners will see it as a curse while other families will love it, but one thing is for certain – living on or near a street with a silly name certainly isn’t boring."
