Anyone mentioned Sodom (Dauntsey) in Wiltshire yet? Then there is Cock Road in Rowde, near Devizes.

Shitterton near Bere Regis. That one always makes me laugh. Cocking hill, and the Cocking Causeway, around Cocking in West Sussex, I nearly fell off my bike laughing at that little lot last Sunday.  24 . I've got a Winkle street just round the corner from where I live too  21

To get to (I guess it's the old Manchester City ground - I'm not a footballist!), you had to go up Back Passage!

One of my reasonably regular routes goes through Cock Green. I'm sure there's a cream for that though.

In Shepshed near Loughboro there's a Butthole Lane.

The local football team, Shepshed Dynamo have their ground on the road. Their fans sing "if you like it up the Butthole clap your hands".

When I was growing up, Whittonstall Road in Chopwell, Co Durham (as it was then - Gateshead now) was called "Fanny Bush Lane"... the council changed the name in 2009 either because the street signs kept getting nicked or suddenly people didn't like living on Fanny Bush Lane... 

 

When we got out driving licences (and managed to wangle the use of a car) we used to whip up the A1 to Shilbottle just south of Alnwick in Northumberland with a roll of ¾" tape to change the first "L" on all the signs to a "T" (none of this using marker pens for us - we were professionals yes - so they would often be there for weeks and of course left adhesive behind which attracted dirt and redid the puerile defacement) - I still chuckle as I pass by.

On  a recent ride I passed through Cockpole Green and then later on the ride on a climb out of Henly I passed through Lower Assendon followed by Middle Assendon. As I continued I had my fingers crossed I would see Upper Assendon but alas there was no such place, however I was greeted by "Pishill" instead.

This thread always reminds me of the old adage;-

If Ty-phoo put the T in Britain who put the C**T in Scunthorpe?
